MY LR battery type ?

[Tagar]

Got MY LR this year. I understand there are two different battery types that are currently being sold by Tesla.
And also there are different factories where those vehicles being made.
Is there a quick way to determine the above for my car? Thanks

All MY LR and P in the US have the same 2170 battery pack.

My Y is from China does anyone know if I have a LFP battery because I don't know if I can charge to 100%. How can I check this?

What shows on the Tesla app when you open the charging settings? If segmented, bracketed for daily charging from 50% to 90% then the Model Y has the NCM battery. If you can see or slide the charging limit setting all the way to 100% then the Model Y has the LFP battery. (If you move the charging slider control past 90% on a NCM equipped Model Y the charging screen will display a message about Tesla recommending only charging to 90% for daily charging.)

Only newer standard range RWD have LFP.

You can tell by going to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information on the car screen.

Many Austin Texas Y's have the 4680 battery. Again, the Additional Vehicle Information screen will tell you more.

How I can tell which battery type I have from Additional Vehicle Information? Thanks

You have a US market Model Y LR. That means you 100% for sure have a US made Panasonic 2170 NCA battery pack. There’s no other battery pack used for that vehicle.

Got it, thanks everyone for the information.

Based on Tesla's 2170 vs 4680 Batteries: What's The Difference? this also means that my MY LR is not made in Texas, correct?

You’ll have to check your vin. Texas makes Model Y LR with the same 2170 battery pack as Fremont.

Check your VIN - the letter in the 11th place will be either an F for Fremont or an A for Austin.

I thought it used to say the battery type, but apparently it only lists it if you have the LFP battery - From the OM -

Some vehicles are equipped with a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Battery. To determine if your vehicle is equipped with an LFP battery, navigate to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information. If your vehicle is equipped with an LFP battery, "High Voltage Battery type: Lithium Iron Phosphate" is listed. If your vehicle does not have an LFP battery, the high voltage Battery type is not specified.

There's a Tesla VIN decoder that you can put your VIN in and find out all the details

I think that describes the low voltage battery in the frunk.

The article is not completely accurate. It says MY's from Austin have 4680. This is not completely true. The LR from Austin still has the same 2170 as LR from Fremont. Only the MY AWD from Austin has 4680 battery. I wouldn't be surprise if Austin builds more 2170 MYLR than 4680 MYAWD at this time.

I have a 2023 MY LR from China, it does not have LFP batteries, my charge indicator states that above 90% is for trips and if i set the charge limit above 90, then after charging it will tell me that i should adjust it down to protect the battery.

Dumb question, but why is the acronym “LFP“ when the middle word starts with an “i”? Does this have to do with the periodical table from my high school days many many years ago? iron = Fe.
