Maybe that will allow full power sharing between 2 wall chargers when/if you get the second MY

Tesla Model Y-LR in Australia

Doesn’t matter whether they’re HW4 or 3 - will still never be a robotaxi

Also of interest is the battery chemistry of the Model Y LR delivered this month. LFP, NCA or NMC and its capacity?
@aliciar who picked his LR last week did a post in the main forum. Australian Model Y Waiting Room
re: battery, I reckon it will be the same as MYP which I think has NCA.
it def wont be LFP. Mainly because the max C rating of LFP cells can't sustain constant output for two motors. As far as sales rep at Tesla tells us, LR and P still have the same 2170 NCA cells. only RWD is LFP cells. that checks with the model 3's too. In my case I didnt order for the longer range, I wanted the AWD and im happy to charge to 80% and have same/less range than RWD's for daily city drive.

I agree, it makes little difference only charging to 80% for 'daily city drives'. And if you're doing a road trip, there's no issue charging to 100% for the extra range.
I could be wrong, but I thought the Chinese build LR & P models actually used LG NMC batteries? My understanding is that the Panasonic NCA cells are limited to American made models.

Given that CATL has just started producing their new M3P phosphate-based battery which offers greater density, I'd be curious to see if Tesla start using those batteries in the MY and M3 LR and P within the next 12 months, in lieu of the NCA batteries.
I wouldn't be too upset, the 4680 has been a big disappointment so far. Based on calculations from EPA filings the 4680 looks to have 13% less energy density than the older 2170 packs. It's barely got more capacity than the LFP packs, and yet it can't be charged to more than 90% regularly (unlike LFP).
Just got an updated EDD from May-June to June 26- July 17 
Stock standard LR ordered April 4, original RWD order Jan 18.
Stock standard LR ordered April 4, original RWD order Jan 18.Considering the number of posts referencing similar updates before you started spamming this thread, pretty happy with it here
There's only a handful on the roads so far in Australia so probably too early to tell. Been a dribble of deliveries out of Melb and it seems a few elsewhere. At least according to posts here. Maybe ask on the facebook model Y Australia forum. Facebook Model Y Australia group you need to join, its a private group.
I drove over 100km after picking up the car yesterday. Combination city/highway (but of course not workday traffic). Had the heater on a fair bit, tested acceleration a few times & autopilot was off most of the time while calibrating. Averaged ~ 170kWh/km. By my calculations that translates to ~ 470km range
I believe the Aus 3/Y LR and P models are using the LG Chem 2170 NMCA cells, started using them about 18mths ago, that’s what I’m hoping for anyway.
I would prefer if cobalt were phased out due to the way it is mined in the Congo
