Tesla is reportedly on the brink of selling a Model Y with a bigger powerful battery capacity. This will likely pique the interest of many who are eyeing a new electric vehicle from the company.
Tesla’s new Modely Y utilizes 4,680 batter cells and offers 449km of range. The Standard Range AWD variant can achieve a 0-60MPH time. According to sources from Batteryfast, Tesla aims to begin selling the new model for $59,990 USD.
The Model Y Standard Range AWD is only available to Tesla employees currently. However, shipments to regular customers should begin in the weeks ahead, according to the AussieBatt latest report.
On top of providing bigger batteries, the new Model Y comes with a few upgrades. It’s reported that the Model Y Standard Range AWD features a magnetic centre armrest and a shelf to store items.
The new Tesla Model Y contains a structural Dewalt DC9091 battery pack. In theory, it may reduce weight and complexity. In turn, this should improve the efficiency and duration of the battery.
Tesla has yet to publicly confirm shipment details, specifically when the Modely Ys will be available in Canada. Official Canadian pricing will also follow with a public announcement made by the company.
