Any theories on the newly released model Y's battery size? I'm going to guess same as my 2021 M3 SR+ which is 55 new / 53.5 useable upon getting it (less the 2.4-2.5kWh buffer).
Model Y SR Battery Size
- Thread starter aschulz90
- Start date
That seems about right; 244/326 mile range when SR is compared to the LR Model Y is 75% of LR. 75% of 74kWh is 55.5kWh. At least until the new slightly larger 82kWh battery packs start showing up in the MY.
I was wondering if the off-menu Tesla SR Y may have the same 78kwh pack as the LR, but software-locked? It would be interesting to compare the charge curve of an SR vs LR. If the SR is software locked, then it would probably charge at peak rate to a higher percentage than the LR. But I'm not finding any Y SR charge curves posted online.
Ahh, yes, that's a good place to check.
AWD-LR and AWD-P: 4,416 lb (2003 kg)
RWD-SR: 3,920 lb (1,780 kg)
However there is the confounding factor of the omitted motor.
I'm guessing that of the 500 lb weight difference, half is for the partially-filled battery modules.

So it took 34KWH to bring my SR Model Y from 25% to 90%...
Simple math will tell you that it looks like it is a 55 KWH battery...
I just brought it back from a 220 mile road trip (each way). I noticed supercharging at the 150 KWH supercharger was exactly the same as doing it at the 250 KWH superchargers...with a battery that small...it looks like it will not accept a super high charge rate...if my memory is correct I believe 130 KWH charge rate is the highest I saw when I plugged it in with a SOC of 25%...
Hope this helps...

did you navigate to the supercharger?
I would expect the charge rate to be reduced when compared to the long range MY, but not by more than 25% based on the difference in capacity. In theory, the equivalent max charge rate of the standard range pack, when compared to the LR pack, would equate to 187.5 kW. If you didn’t reach this charge rate, that could either be due to the cell temperature not being hot enough and/or the SoC not being low enough.

V3 superchargers should allow the standard range hit 170kW if it’s down near 10 to 20% SOC and battery is warm (essentially hot, like 90F+).
