2024 Model Y Canada Order

[ririsosa123]

Good evening,


I have ordered a 2024 Model Y RWD here in Canada, I have gotten my vin which when i look online it decodes as a fremont build. I have spoken to 3 people prior to delivery and asked them all to confirm that this has the LFP battery. All including my sales advisor have confirmed that it does in fact have the LFP battery. Some info online contradicts this. Any info on the matter?

I took delivery of a Fremont- built RWD two weeks ago in Toronto and it has the LFP battery...., along with the nerfed audio system lol.

How bad is the new system or is it alright?

It's "alright" if ur in the driver or passenger seats with volume at 50% or higher, as the front speakers still have ok bass. But its pretty bad if ur in the back seats.

If its a good as the model 3 RWD audio, it not too bad and acceptable at louder volumes.

Do you know what LFP battery you have?…Is it the CATL or BYD Blade battery. Thanks

 

[Toyotomi]

I haven't done a supercharge yet, so I am not sure- is there another way to find out? But I had assumed only Berlin uses BYD?

The reason why I am asking, I ordered a Model Y RWD on the 5th of March and the Tesla advisor told me that all Model Y and 3 delivered in Canada are made in China. The next day I realized that the Model Y RWD is actually made in Fremont and delivered to Canada with an LFP battery. After a bit of research, some people are saying that the Model Y RWD made in Fremont for the Canadian market is a BYD blade which I have trouble to believe. If you look at your VIN number the 7th symbol is a letter, if the letter is an E its a Blade and if its F it is a CATL.

The 7th digit of my VIN is indeed an E. @Andycharles , have you done a supercharge on your RWD?

My guess is that you will really know when you do your first deep supercharge and if you are getting 170kw for the first 30%, it will be confirmed it is a Blade battery….Thanks for the info, should be receiving mine in about 2 weeks.

adding some info as of 03/14/2024 -
Ordered a MYLR in greater Toronto area. Advisor said this when I asked which battery type it’ll have.

“LFP is only for RWD Model's on all AWD you can always charge to 100% but at the 80% is 400 plus KM this is just for daily commute. If you are heading across Canada or down to the USA you then would charge to 100% in the AWD option. Both are good for daily and long trips.”

The Advisor is 100% right…in the MYLR you will have an lithium(NMC) chemistry charge to 80% daily and 100% when you go on long trips…the RWD is lithium(LPF) chemistry needs to be charged at least once a week to a 100% for BMS calibration and it is a bit of a tougher battery should out last the car. The MYLR battery also needs to charged up every so often to 100% for the same purpose to balance the BMS. That being said once your battery is at 100% you should leave right away because it does not like being in a high charge state like that compared to the LFP battery, but it must be done. There is a lot of YouTubers who explain lithium batteries a lot better than I do. A YouTuber that I recommend is TeslaBorjn. Enjoy your new MYLR.

Congrats, should receive mine in the next 2 weeks have a EDD 24-31 of March. Will only know what LPF battery is installed after I see the first supercharger charging curb.

I'll try to do a super charge early next week as currently away... So if I can get up to 170kw/hr up to 30%, does that mean it must be a blade version.

Are the Freemont MYLRs coming with the trunk cargo cover?
