What motor does your 2023 Model Y have?
- Thread starter JCLJorgenson
- Start date
Yes, they all had F at the 8th digit. All were performance models with 21” uberturbine wheels with red break calipers
Thanks! My VIN is PF695, and the delivery is coming Tuesday. Hopefully I get 4D1 (or does it really matter at all)?
I am not sure which is preferable from what I have read the only thing for sure is the 980/3D1 is an 800 amp motor. no info on the 4D1 is that correct?
ps. I should be receiving the Certificate of Origin in the next 3 days or so and will post up what the declared SAE HP is as well.
Anyone have a new certificate of origin HP they would like to share?
Mine is 709.., it seems late Feb and Mar MYP builds are getting 3D1 and probably all the 3D1s they been putting in LRs are now shifted to MYPs
No and I did ask for it directly.
The Gal said it would be mailed to me in the next 3 days.
I will absolutely need it to transfer title and register in Idaho.
I want a copy of it to keep in my records especially since it is the only place Tesla declares the SAE HP that is tied to a specific VIN that I am aware of.
As it stands the window temporary will be expired before I make it to the DMV.
I Did get the window sales sheet that has all of the crash data and price.
Tesla added in the extra 2 grand in the price. I guess that is in case a person is a no sale on their pre order ...
Read post #112 in this thread, Ingenext offered me a 25% discount if I would let them do some testing on the new 4D1 motor. I'm not a big speed guy, however. it looks like you have the 3D1/980 Performance motor, which is typically compatible with the Ghost upgrade.MYLR Fremont. Going to take a look today and verify which motor. Also saw this interesting software hack:
GHOST UPGRADE
It's almost scary.. You need to have the right motor (980 or 4D1). Here's a video to help you find the number motor. The Ghost doesn't work with the 990 & 780 motors. The update transforms your dual motor into a Performance It adds 150 HP to your car... You'll be able to do 0-60 MPH in 3.2...ingenext.ca

Tesla is only differentiating between Base (600A) and Performance (800A) motors. There is a Base and Performance motor in each Drive Unit Category so far. More precisely it should actually be a high current inverter motor and a low current inverter motor, but this is getting a bit too technical I guess.
- DU CAT 1 = 3D1 / 3D5
- DU CAT 2 = 3D6 / 3D7
- DU CAT 3 = 3D6 / 3D7
- DU CAT 4 = 4D1 / 4D5
Actually the motors are not exactly 600A and 800A as you can see here when diving deep into the (not publicly available) technical documentation:
"800A" Performance Motor max power = 840A x 320V = 269kW
"600A" Base Motor max power = 655A x 335V = 220kW
3D3 Front Motor max power = 630A x 335V = 211kW
Here is an example of a M3P 2020 with 3D3/3D1 Drive Unit Cat 1 motor config.
As soon as the rear motor reaches 269kW the excess power will go to the front motor. Since the power is limited by the battery, you will never see the rear going to 269kW and the front also getting to 211kW.
In the Model 3/Y Long Range, when you buy the Acceleration Boost, you will see that the rear motor is quickly "saturated" at 220kW and then all excess power goes to the front as well.
I have never seen the front motor actually gerting to its 211kW limit.
There is one odd one out and that is the Model 3 Standard Range with the "600A" base motor as when connecting SMT you will see that this motor is not stopping at 220kW, but can go up to 239kW. No idea why Tesla is pushing the limit on that one as there is no point really.
