Model Y specs updated today. LR 53LBs lighter. P 18lbs lighter

[Corndart]

There are other differences, point is it is not a structural pack. They also pulled some redundant ECU's off cars to save chips, etc.

Why for MYLR but not MYP? My point is the weight changes are 35 lbs apart...

 

[Firocity]

Did it ever change prior? Spec page makes no mention of headlights so I suspect there is still a difference

It was mentioned in this article.

The weight reduction is due to the removal of the center speaker and new non-data front USB ports. LOL

Don’t forget radar and lumbar support!

 

[whisperingshad]

amd computer is lighter lol

 

[Destiny1701]

The decals are all made out of light grade plastic now the double pane glass is now as thin as old single pane lol.

 

[Bikeman]

...by "more cargo" I read that as more load capacity. I was wrong to interpret it that way.

The ~17 lbs lower weight spec for the Performance Model Y tracks well with the new lighter lithium 12V battery.

What’s interesting is Tesla could shave off 40lbs easily by modifying the Uberturbines slightly and reduce their enormous weight. Ie. 10 lbs per wheel. They are the boat anchor in an otherwise strong chassis and handling car. Didn’t say they don’t look amazing lol..just stupid heavy.

 

[Paladore]

Could this be for the car currently being sold? The lithium battery must save a few pounds.

Or maybe the one mold casting savings in weight? I don’t think this is new battery specs yet. Expect more range soon

Now if only they could nail the suspension, so you didn't feel every single crack in the road. The Model Y has a massive issue with dampening that Tesla needs to address. Fingers crossed they do with the Model Y coming out of Texas. That would be the only thing holding me back from getting another Model Y. There also doesn't seem to be a lot of body control.

100% agree on both points. There is a thread now with some owners reporting a smoother ride with recent 2022 builds..could be anecdotal at this point but a few have reported in mow

As for body roll, which version are you referring to? SR, LR or P? I had a 21’ LR around October and it felt as would most SUV’s but handled better than the typical boaty Lexus, Hyundai. To me felt more planted like a bmw. I was running 21” Ubers on my model so can’t speak to the 19” geminis nor 20” indications.

I didn't know that. Here's hoping we see air suspension on the Model 3/Y soon. I have an LR on the 20" Inductions.

 

[bluetrep1]

they removed passenger lumbar support, reduce 10lbs, no sure what is removed this time to save another 18lbs. lol

As someone said above, the new Li-Ion 12v saves quite a bit of weight right there.

 

[whisperingshad]

Biohazard and Li-ion would definately be upgrades i would consider

Mercedes-Benz nailed the body control back in 2013.
