USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

[PeterAAA]

This MY RWD is so mysterious. I still dont understand why the heck they installed functioning fog lights but not allow us to use them.

back up to $40 and MY bottom trim at $42K until Jupiter shows up allowing the Y to goto $45K after
where the M2 with 4680s will be the only Tesla, on the low end, to get tax credit, $25 less $7500 plus your state, or max potential $25K less $15K or $10K OTD

Sounds nice, although I wouldn't be too optimistic those prices materialize in the short term. Maybe in 4 years or so.

M2 won't ramp that fast and as long as they can sell them for more than $25k they will. If 3/Y start at $40/42k I bet they'd be able to sell the M2 for quite a bit more than 25k.

This is reminding me of the early days of Model 3 when everyone was super excited to get a 35k Model 3 with $7500 federal tax credit (that was never possible, the 35k Model 3 was sold only when Tesla did not get the full credit).

at least the $35K M3 with $7500 off showed up this year, hoping to buy one tomorrow

Product differentiation, plain and simple. Nothing mysterious about that.

Presumed product differentation without requiring different hardware variations to keep track of during manufacturing, much like how all currently offered cars have FSDB-capable hardware, but FSDB is an extra cost option.

So lets say we are at 80% most of the time and 40% efficiency is lost due to cold weather. 5 years down the line there will be degradation due to age on top of his. How may miles would we be left during this perfect storm..

It does not sound all rosy to me..

Then don’t buy one?

Not everyone needs a ton of range. These cars are a screamin deal.

there are charge curve graphs on the net, just look, NCA
also "Tesla claims that its batteries lose about 12% of their capacity after 200,000 miles. This is an average of 1% per 16,667 miles. However, some say that it's normal for a car to be below these figures, and that 5% or more is quite normal, even when new."

no worries, but happy

It is obvious that the missing shelf is for product differentiation. Not so much for the disabled fog lights as they are not listed in specs nor easily discoverable by buyers. Even if the difference is noticeable by some TeslaMotorClub buyers, it is such an insignificant factor for deciding trims.

FSDB is there for future add on sales.
I don’t think they would come up with a fog lights subscription plan. lol

Tesla and other companies have offered heated seats as a software enabled feature.

I would want tesla to enable AWD for me one day when I move to the north.... haha

Here is confirmation of the usable battery capacity from Tessie. So 69.6kWh usable out of the physical capacity of 78.8kWh means about 12% is locked out. SMT reports a buffer of 3.5kWh, so it seems that the locked capacity is all at the top. With this extra capacity (as it seems the MY RWD was intended to have the same 60kWh battery as the M3 RWD), the MY RWD may actually be able to hit the EPA rated range, unlike the usual overly optimistic Tesla EPA ratings.

It’s consistent with the Model 3 RWD, so good reason to stick with the formula.

why did Tesla use slightly different rear drive motor for LR AWD and SR RW? LR AWD - 200kw, SR RWD - 198kw.

If that’s the case, if the RWD has 88% the capacity of the LR, then the range should be closer to 290 (since the LR is 330), right?

You mean the EPA overly optimistic range by Tesla.

Yes, I know that’s an inflated number but I wanted to keep it apples:apples

Can anyone confirm if the onboard charger is 32A or 48A on the MY RWD? I'm seeing conflicting info all over the place and its hard to find out.

Also, curious if it has a subwoofer or not.

It is 48A and it was confirmed by other users. The on-board charger is located on top of the battery and LR battery comes with 48A only.
