I'd be cautious about this. There is plenty of cycle life data on lithium cells. While it's true that calendar aging can be minimised by not leaving batteries at a high SoC for long, cycle life is still adversely impacted by charging to a high capacity (termination voltage). While the occasional 100% won't make a difference and will keep the BMS up to date, I'd be wary about doing it on the regular.

Tesla Model Y-LR in Australia
- Thread starter Leconte
- Start date
Yes, in my case, it is my intention to charge with solar panels on the weekends. I would not want to charge to 100% with solar till about 4pm and then leave it until Monday am when the battery is LFP or any Li-Ion battery for that matter
Assuming that the LR battery will be a NCA/NMC then I get relatively more accurate calculated range at lower SoC than LFP and I don't need to charge to as high a SoC to get the same range as LFP

Has anyone who had a previous order (RWD/P) and changed via phone/email to LR - have it showing online/in the app yet?
The Model Y LR isn’t on the Vic roads probationary driver site yet Home : VicRoads
Anyone know if the MY LR will sneak into the not banned list ?
with older teens it’ll be an occasional convenience for them to be able to drive it when they’ve passsed their tests.

I don't believe the restrictions apply to learners, only Ps.
Don't the UK get Chinese made cars? If so, based on a YouTube video I watched of how poor vision only operates in tight spaces, they don't have ultrasonics
Yep. For reasons unbeknownst to anyone, Tesla seems to produce models with and without ultrasonic sensors from the same factory.

Yes they do
Yes, they were removed for UK delivered cars in October last year.
But they haven't removed them for Aussie cars yet.

They could turn them off at any minute in favour of Tesla Vision (cameras).

They could, but I doubt it will happen until the output from the cameras is better than the ultrasonics.
I believe the option just pops up on the app for the M3LR for you to purchase. Since no one has taken delivery of a MYLR Not sure anyone can answer this. Someone can ask a Tesla SA and see if they know.

Answering my own question for anyone - Yes. Mine now shows the new LR Car in my account/reservation number.

I'm just trying to be the voice of reason. There's so much pessimism on this forum!
I can understand why Tesla disabled radar on existing vehicles, because the output wasn't directly displayed to the user and the radar data was conflicting with the camera data.
It's a different story for the ultrasonics, at least for the information that's displayed to us.
Of course they'll transition to using cameras only for the self parking etc at some point.

My experience of a Sydney winter is obviously different to yours.
I'm happy for us to have different views with regards to LFP.

Strictly being the voice of reason, I can't understand why they disabled the radar whilst is was still a backwards step in TACC's functionality.
The reason that I recall that the Tesla engineer gave on the YouTube interview was that it was because the radar unit introduced another point of complexity for supply chain and build, and they wanted to simplify and use the cameras and their existing customer base to generate the data to make Tesla vision a better solution. Tesla vision may very well be a better solution one day, however what you're interpreting as pessimism is actually frustration from owners who bought a finished product that had radar already installed and had no say when it's TACC capability was reduced.
EDIT - found the video

USS Sensors are being removed on MANY cars at the moment due to supply chain. This includes some toyota models which use similar hardware for Blind spot detection.
Tesla's trying to use another tech to keep an existing feature while the supply chain suffering.

And I'm not trying to be the voice of pessimism, but they have turned it off in the US and UK before they have had it working properly with Tesla Vision. Based on that, I reckon they could remove them at any time.
