He is in Canada. Canada has always had LFP batteries regardless of the the model year.That would be 10 kWh less than the 2023

Not any more. Only the MY AWD, not currently available, had front and rear megacast to accommodate the structural 4680 battery pack. The Cybertruck has now taken over that assembly line with 4680 structural battery pack. Austin now builds MY with same 2170 battery pack as Fremont, so it has the same structure/design to accommodate the 2170 battery pack.I’m considering buying a 2024 MYLR.
As far as I can tell (please correct me if you have proof) the only difference between the Fremont and Austin cars at the moment is that Austin built cars have the Gigacast body.
There IS NO DIFFERENCE of substance between Fremont and Austin-built cars.I’m considering buying a 2024 MYLR.

I live in Northern California, in an area with terrible roads. Does anyone know if the Gigacast body is less likely to develop noises over time from being driven on rough roads? Are there any other immediate comfort or noise benefits from the Gigacast version?
There is an Austin-built vehicle with the specs I want in SoCal, but I’d have to fly down to pick it up and drive back 7 hours (they will not deliver). Plus, if I get there and there are QC issues with the car I will have wasted considerable time+money.
Grateful for any thoughts, especially those backed up by facts.
This is not correct. There are no Model Ys being produced with LFP for the US market (though Tesla has, as documented on this forum, installed an LFP as a warranty replacement for battery pack).MY-RWD uses LFP batteries
does your audio system have a sub-woofer and a tweeter in the middle?MY new February 2024 Austin-built Y LR has only rear casting. It is the first Tesla I have bought, out of four, that had precisely zero defect of any type. The rattle I thought I heard was the passenger set belt hitting the seat. A bit of padding and that stopped.
I'm too new to have reliable energy use. I can say the audio seems better than my Model S Plaid, the structural integrity is excellent and it's better in every way to the 2011 Model YP that I drove extensively a couple years ago (I never owned it).
Both my spouse and I are surprised pleasantly. Once the refresh comes it should be even better but this one will be with me for quite some time.
I did not check, so I do not knowdoes your audio system have a sub-woofer and a tweeter in the middle?
WRONG - see links on this very website. Tesla has used non-US batteries on the MY-RWD and has less tax credit as a resultThis is not correct. There are no Model Ys being produced with LFP for the US market (though Tesla has, as documented on this forum, installed an LFP as a warranty replacement for battery pack).
This is verifiably false: the RWD 2024s are still getting the full tax credit and the thread you referenced specifically says that LFP batteries are *not* being used for US cars…LFP is a specific battery chemistry and it’s not in use for any US cars aside from the RWD Model 3.WRONG - see links on this very website. Tesla has used non-US batteries on the MY-RWD and has less tax credit as a result
2024 US model Y rwd battery type and size
Could be. It’s true that there is no sense in them wasting extra-valuable Panasonic credit-eligible cells in a locked-out pack. Still it is weird they did that at all, even last year - unless they had a surplus of such packs. Just seems wasteful and adds extra weight. Don’t really...teslamotorsclub.com

The updated Highland doesn’t have any castings…My March 2024 MY LR-AWD only has the rear casting. IDK when the front will hit production.
Probably with the update in the 2025 model.
Geezuz, the MY is ALWAYS made with the rear casting. ALWAYS.The updated Highland doesn’t have any castings…
What changed (just a few days ago) was the configuration of that MY, and it now gets the full tax credit.It totally gets the full 7,500$ credit as a quick glance at the Tesla site will show.
That is correct but there’s no reason to assume that Juniper will have front castings and I was replying to the inference that Juniper would likely have front and rear castings.Geezuz, the MY is ALWAYS made with the rear casting. ALWAYS.
The MY-AWD was ONLY made with Front + Rear castings, AND the structural battery pack.
NO MY variant is made without a casting.
Nobody outside Tesla knows whether the Juniper MY will or will not have F+R castings.That is correct but there’s no reason to assume that Juniper will have front castings and I was replying to the inference that Juniper would likely have front and rear castings.
That’s also correct but based on Highland moving towards additional castings isn’t part of their iterative process.Nobody outside Tesla knows whether the Juniper MY will or will not have F+R castings.
In current form, to have both castings will require a structural battery pack, which was teased long ago but never implemented using 2170 batteries.
It's all speculation at this point.
aaannnddd, more speculation !! ;-)That’s also correct but based on Highland moving towards additional castings isn’t part of their iterative process.
Elon already stated they aren’t investing more in casting. That’s not speculation.aaannnddd, more speculation !! ;-)
I agree our April 2024 MYLR is really terrific inside and out. From friends that have had their various Tesla's over the years, I expected some possible defect etc. Honestly I was extremely pleased when we picked it up! I was going over everything in great detail and have to say we were extremely pleased at how well everything worked, looks and feels!MY new February 2024 Austin-built Y LR has only rear casting.
