Mine said the new LR RWD Getting LFPs as they have a lot in stock.Confirmed by a sale rep.
Only RWD M3 gets LFP, and he said "It is confirmed"
All model Ys get the same "type" of batteries.
If you’re in the US, they are wrong.Mine said the new LR RWD Getting LFPs as they have a lot in stock.
You’re gonna be waiting for a good while, as no LFP batteries are eligible for the US tax credit, and that’s what’s driving sales right now.I'm kind of waiting an LFP.
Why? It’s the cheap and inferior battery.I'm kind of waiting an LFP.
Inferior? Doesn't it have double the charge discharge cycle life span?Why? It’s the cheap and inferior battery.
NCA is loads better.
(Currently own Model Y’s with both)
If you are somewhere close to anywhere they’re probably wrong about batteriesIf you’re in the US, they are wrong.
America or Europe for LFP?I have a 2022 M3 with LFP and 2020 MY with NCA. They are both great.
LFP: ~5% loss in 2 years, 27k miles
NCA: ~9% loss in 4 years, 68k miles
I do like being to regularly charge my LFP to 100% and still having regen.
I didn't bother paying for teslafi on my M3, but the data on my MY is interesting.

America. No tax credit back when I purchased it.America or Europe for LFP?
And id America did you get tax credit?
Was it clear to you on the site that you wouldn't be getting a tax credit or were you just not qualified for the tax credit because of your income? Or are you not able to get a tax credit because of the lfp battery specifically?America. No tax credit back when I purchased it.
Yes. The critical minerals sourcing requirements for 2024 and beyond make them ineligible.Also how do we know they aren't eligible for Federal Tax Credit? Because they are Chinese batteries?
That’s not a thing with LFP, full is still full and regen will be limited just like any other battery.I do like being to regularly charge my LFP to 100% and still having regen.
Impossible. LFP doesn’t have enough energy density for long range.Mine said the new LR RWD Getting LFPs as they have a lot in stock.

+1. Though all Teslas now (software) mimic regen when the battery is too full, so you have one pedal driving whether regen is active or not. Evidently there was a short period a few years ago where at 100% charge, the car would not brake if one pedal driving (HOLD) was selected - yikes!That’s not a thing with LFP, full is still full and regen will be limited just like any other battery.
Sorry, I meant LR RWDMine said the new LR RWD Getting LFPs as they have a lot in stock.

By RWD you mean LR or SR?
So we're told the same thing but the site still doesn't make mention that Because of that wed not get tax savings seems like an important detail to leave out.Sorry, I meant LR RWD
Apparently they do but it’s just not that relevant for regular use of a private vehicle - superior resistance to cyclic aging for taxis, ride share and other high mileage use cases, but for regular use, you won’t do enough cycles to notice a difference and LFP has many more downsides than NCA. I’ve listed them here as I own both:Inferior? Doesn't it have double the charge discharge cycle life span?
Also despite the 30% reduction in energy density I thought that's why they build it structurally to reduce weight else where.
