Model Y Long Range with LFP battery? [Actually 12V Lithium battery]

Here is the info. Any thought? Thanks!

No, you got a Model Y Long Range with 2170 NCA batteries and a Lithium-Ion "12 volt" battery (actually 15.5 volts).

Lithium iron phosphate (aka LFP or LiFePO4) is only available on Standard Range Model 3.

Thats not a long range model Y with a LFP battery. Thats a Long range Model Y with a Lithium ion 12v (small) battery, so to answer your thread question "any thoughts?" mine is "this post is wrong".

I'm curious how these LFP "12v" batteries work in the winter. Wonder how low temp they will charge and if they have any kind of heating to them.

It is a lithium ion 15.5V low voltage starting battery not a lithium iron phosphate battery. Someone took one of the new low voltage battery modules apart. There is circuitry that includes a temperature sensor but no separate heating unit. If cold enough the lithium battery in this battery module won't be charged until it has warmed.
