Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

[advocate8]

The principle difference that we know of between AWD and LR is range. That ratio is 84.5% (279/330).
That would indicate a price for the AWD at about $53,250.

But that would be too logical.

Im basically going to ignore battery day numbers, as they have never seemed trustworthy.
The battery is essentially what changes, so the rough calculation should be the percent reduction in the cost of the battery, not the whole car. In theory the 4680s should be less expensive to produce for a given capacity since they’re doing them in house.
Then the changes with the casting and structural pack SHOULD make a commensurate reduction in the cost of producing the rest of the car. They should obviously make it cheaper to produce but...
I’m also guessing Tesla will shoot high with the price because of the ongoing hikes in the cost of raw materials, parts etc and that will wipe out gains in production efficiency. the $59,990 may be BS right now but that sounds about right.

That number would be amazing. I would switch from my MYP immediately.

Why, if you have an October price locked in, you are not saving that much. For me, I am locked in at $54,990 for my August order for a LR. Your P from October should have cost around $61,990 or $62,990.

Wait, you have a Model Y P ordered in October and still have not gotten it?

That number would be amazing. I would switch from my MYP immediately.

And I'm sure that would worry Tesla, and argue for a higher number initially.

Anything under 60K enables Tax Rebates too.
So.....all we can do is wait and see.

 

[Zebelkhan]

Rumoured 59k

Hmm that’s too expensive for 50 miles less range. Whoever can afford $59k could afford $63k as well. Has to be $57k or less to make sense.

0-60 almost surely would remain slower than MYLR if only for marketing purposes.

0-60 for the budget MY is 5 seconds.

 

[advocate8]

0-60 for the budget MY is 5 seconds.

Yeah I was responding to the idea it would later be improved via software

The battery is not the only component in the car...

The MYP order I have is $63,990. And yeah, I still haven't gotten it.

[golfwolf]

if you changed from a MYP to a MYLR do you get the October price of the LR or today's price?

October price.

 

[KWC_Diu]

October price.

Really? Is it only available on US? Canada order shows today's price with edit RN link.

Yeah, edit prices (during time of order) only applies to US right now.

 

[Firocity]

I am locked in at $50,990 for MYLR, all this news about a car with lower range being priced higher than what I paid brings a smile to my face. Totally removes the 4680 FOMO. Until I see otherwise, 4680 really only benefits Tesla.

They might be waiting awhile for that answer.

 

[Mingw]

$60990 for MIT MY AWD?
if you search the model y page source code, you can find 60990, 62990, 67990.
60990 for configuration $MDLY
67990 for base_plus_trim config $MTY11
62990 for base_plus_trim config $PRMY1

The battery is not the only component in the car...

but range is still the primary difference.
yes, the new chassis on the AWD is better, but it's only 60lbs lighter than the LR, and Fremont body panel gap issues are behind them.
Other than that, there's nothing different worth discussing.
so unless there's some other mystery improvements you're not telling us about, the range IS the primary difference.

 

[tangible1]

October price.

you better check on that.

 

[Gem!ni]

you better check on that.

This is my edit page right now. You can see the old pricing for the MYLR.

Good discussion here on whether or not their are two packs. One partial pack with either 690 or 644 cells to support SR model and 828 cells to support the LR model. Is there another EPA certification that is open or are they all closed?

If the 4680 and structural battery pack info is correct on web link youi provided, the open structural battery packs on display at Cyber Rodeo last week were for MY-LRs since these had 828 of the 4680 cells. Since it appears these provide just about the same KWH of capacity as the current battery pack in the MY-LRs or MY-Ps, then I doubt any other EPA certification is needed beyond what was already issued for the 2022 MYs.
