I currently have av2023 MYLR. I ordered a MYAWD that’s scheduled to arrive in about 10 days.
It’s an Austin built car per VIN number.
What are the differences between the MYAWD and MYLR other that obvious 15% reduced published range.
What are battery specs?
Is it a LFP?
What are kWh specs 60 kWh?
Is the battery a 4680?
Is it a dual motor?
Thanks in advance for replying.
This is as far as I know. I also have MYAWD on order (OD 2/10, EDD unknown still)
What are battery specs? 4680, useable kWh is 67kWh
Is it a LFP? No
What are kWh specs? Useable 67 kWh
Is the battery a 4680? Yes
Is it a dual motor? Yes
I did a mileage calculation post comparing MYAWD and MYLR. For in-town driving (i.e. you’re doing 20~40 mi per day) range difference between MYAWD and MYLR does not matter.
For highway driving (i.e. long trips 200 to 409 mi or more), range difference between MYAWD and MYLR appears to be significant. BUT not by that much. An MYLR user will tell you they do on average 3.3mi/kWh on highway. MYAWD users will also tell you they do about 3.3mi/kWh on highway. The known useable battery on MYAWD is 67kWh (look it up on YouTube). Useable battery on MYLR is 75kWh.
At 100% charge, highway miles are 221mi for MYAWD and 248mi for MYLR
On the highway you are not gonna use up the battery from 0 to 100%, that’s not good for the battery life and also it’s not an efficient way to supercharge. The sweet spot for charging is between 20% to 90%. So if using 70% range of charging, that’s 155mi for MYAWD and 173mi for MYLR.
For practical miles on highway, you are only looking at 18 to 20 mi difference, not the 51mi difference on EPA estimate (279 vs 330). That’s an extra 10-15 min of charging in most instances if you are driving MYAWD.
Range should be compared with real world data and actual useable battery amount to really know what you are getting for your money. Hope this helped
