Anyone knows the Y AWD LR coming from China uses NCM or LFP battery?

[ZooSean]

Thinking about switching from M3 LR RWD to Y AWD LR. But the LFP battery is really not good for Canadian winter.

it wouldn't be LFP. The LR models from China use LG Chem brand batteries vs the Panasonic used in Fremont. It is NMCA battery.

And I guess we don't know how that battery will perform in the winter

Same has any battery. Car plugged in and pre heat the battery is the key. Use the nav to route to a SC.

NMCA battery from LG will be very similar to the battery from Panasonic. My experience is that the LG battery is even better. I have both Panasonic battery Model3 performance and a LG battery Model Y in Shanghai. The Model 3 degraded to 90% already (in about 4 years), and Model Y is superior.

"Based on reports from Europe, which has for years received cars built in China, it also charges slower, but it has better performance in cold weather and degrades slower than the Panasonic packs.", looks like what I experienced in Shanghai is correct for Panasonic and LG battery.

Plenty of MIC cars in Europe that have gone through winters.

Build quality made in China is far superior than Freemont. I would rather get a car made in China with HW3 than freemont with Hw4

LG batteries are lower power density. That's why the range is less than the Panasonic batteries.

And just how would someone order from China?

If you are in Canada, any 3 or Y that is not the performance will come from China, if you are in the USA then all of your cars will come from Fremont or Texas

Canada MYP definitely comes from China.

Just looked through Toronto area inventory and based on the reported ranges there are both LG and Panasonic LR Y's still available. The longer range ones, Fremont Panasonics?, tend to be cheaper, as they've been sitting on the lot longer?

 

[coolmanfever]

i do not see any model y long range in inventory for GTA area. If I custom order, does it mean new one will come from China?

 

[brulaz]

That's my understanding.

Did you hear from tesla sales? I try to get confirmation about mini update model y but he kept pushing me to take current incentory

Until it's officially announced, they will never tell you anything or take guesses about this. Typically they know as much as you, it's not the same as slimy traditional car dealers who'll tell you anything.

No, just from news reports.

For custom order, Y is coming from Shanghai factory. It is easier to find if it is from Shanghai or US. The long range says 498km is from Shanghai. (using LG battery pack).
