Model Y standard range is here

[hgmichna]

I have a Model 3 SR+, which is a bit similar. I don't care much about battery pre-warming, because it drives just nicely when it is cold. Recuperation is low though, so you sometimes have to use the friction brakes.

For short distances this does not matter. On longer distances the battery will gradually warm up anyway.

I do pre-warm the interior and the battery if I feel like it, but with temperatures around the freezing point, planning a short drive, I only pre-warm for two to five minutes plus switch on seat heat. Of course you can do it for longer whenever you like.

At much lower temperatures I would tend to pre-heat accordingly longer to get the battery warmed up a bit, but this is still not necessary for driving. The car will drive even at much lower temperatures without pre-warming.

I have not read anything that confirms the curb weight of the Standard Range RWD Model Y.
Working from the curb weight of the Long Range Dual Motor Model 3 (4062 lbs) and the curb weight of the SR Plus Model 3 (3551 lbs), the difference (511 lbs) when applied to the curb weight of the Long Range Dual Motor Model Y (4416 lbs) would reduce the weight of the Standard Range RWD Model Y to ~3905 lbs. This is 157 lbs lighter than the curb weight of the Long Range Dual Motor Model 3. It may be possible to use other than XL rated tires on the Standard Range RWD Model Y. This would increase the selection of compatible tires.

Order placed on 1/9, SR, White, Gemini, FSD.

Haha oh man that is awesome, except if you arnt quite ready haha.

This is my third Tesla, 1st one was 4 weeks, 2nd one 8 weeks and if it really comes on jan 26th, this one will be the quickest at 2 weeks.

coming a model 3 sr+, no way i can recommend this to anyone in canada. the range will be crap in the cold!

Plus you're only charging to 80-90%. Before covid, I commuted 101 miles each way once or twice a week. I would be running on electrons lol

Well, Tesla lists it at 3,920 on their web site. I'd say that's confirmation. ;-) LR AWD lists at 4,416, although that might be a little suspect since the MYP lists at the same.

According to the text, it’s actually saying delivery will be in 1-3 days. So, potentially 5 days after the order was placed. Seems fishy to me and might be an error- we’re going to call the Sales Rep to confirm.

It might be correct as there are SR Model Y in the wild already (see the heated steering wheel thread)

Anyone know if the suspension part numbers are different between SR and LR AWD Model Y? I would hope they've retuned the dampers and springs to reflect the 500 lb weight reduction. Otherwise, we're in for really firm ride quality...

Doubt it. They will wait until there are enough complaints from beta testers (owners) to change anything.

If anyone has gone from an original Model 3 Standard Range Plus to a Model Y Standard Range has done a cold weather range comparison, that would be interesting to see. My 2019 Model 3 has just enough range in the winter, but the EPA rating of 244 vs 240 combined with the heat pump, the Model Y should be better I would think?

Stopped by my local SC in Richmond, VA and they had 6 SR Y’s on the lot with a sign that said “take me home today” and were available for immediate purchase.
