They’re not being snapped up because of the inclusion of the Induction wheels. It brings the price up just $500 shy of the long range… well, this was true before today’s price hike.Interesting that the standard range 4680 pack Y's are not being snapped up. I am not convinced so far from what I have read that the 4680's right now are a worthwhile improvement. Maybe there is something to the Texas built Y?
If you take into account today’s price hike on the LR and managed to get a 4680 version without any extra options, that’s now a $4000 difference. I’d say that’s worth it for many in addition to the fact that it is the cheapest Model Y for sale (as new). Maybe the only option for those now shopping for a MY and have limited funds.
