What's different from Model Y 2020 & 2021

[907XCP]

What will be the difference with the Tesla model Y made in Berlin compare to the USA Model Y ?

One will say Made in the USA the other will say Made in Germany.

Another difference between the Berlin built cars and the Fremont built cars....

The painted bumpers will actually (paint) match on the German built cars

Ordered a Y yesterday, Trading in my 2020 Model 3 SR+. Id be a pig in #$%@ if it has the center console from the 3 refresh.

It won’t.

I picked up my Y with a VIN 70XXX in November 2020. It’s a so called 2021 build year. Came with dual pane windows in the front area only. Same glassy back center console. The new “3’s” wil get a different center console but I prefer the one I got due to the privacy lid to cover the phones if I choose to leave them in the car. No SSD in glovebox. Had to buy and install one myself in the center console. So for now, just the dual pane front windows.

Do new Model Ys now have an 82 kWh battery vs. 75 kWh?

My understanding is no.

Assuming 325 mile range, it’ll go to about 341

for me that is negligible. Depending on your needs I don’t think it’ll be a deal breaker.

A while ago somebody found the Twitter of a Nevada factory employee saying the new batteries were being pushed to at least the MYP. I have no idea if that’s factual.

"Factory employee" now competing with "someone" for providing info - eventually we'll find the truth.

Did not see any confirmation yet, but range got an increase from 316 (2020) to 326 (2021 models), so it would make sense that this modest increase came from switching to the newest battery pack with more energy-dense cells like the 2021 model 3 (which got a biggest range boost with heat-pump). No reason to have 2 SKUs of the same thing coming out of Nevada GF. Also the 2019-2020 packs were already 79KWh, so while it is nice to have 82 instead, the usable difference is closer to 2KWh...

Also, Model Y 2021 page still says EPA estimate on the 326 figure, it may slightly increase with official EPA numbers). EDIT: or not... New EPA Range/Efficiency Ratings For 2021 Tesla Model Y

My understanding was the old packs were 75 kWh. Therefore, an increase to 82 kWh would be significant.

My 2020 Y has a sticker under the frunk that says 74kWh for what it’s worth.

Thank you - finally some factual info. Those who think they have an 82 kWh battery can confirm by looking at the sticker on their car.

Have we seen this sticker for any of the 80xxx VINs? I'm very curious if they have already switched over to the newer 82kWh (79kWh usable) packs around the time this change happened: Tesla boosts Model Y range - Electrek or if we can still expect another increase in the Ys range when they start using the same pack as the 2021 Model 3.

 

[mbdionio]

I'd like to see this confirmation before proceeding with my order

 

[Xmecial]

Someone on Reddit just reported their 63xxx VIN has double paned glass windows. I don’t think that’s been reported on earlier 2021 VINs. I wonder what their build date was.

Our model Y with a 01/21 build date (1/11 delivery) has the double paned windows.

I have a 21 MY LR and it has the 82kwh battery. Picked my car up Jan 4th, produced on Dec 24th. I have a friend that got his car a week earlier and he also has the 82 pack. Vin in the 97xxx. We also have the dual pain windows, dimming mirrors, metal scroll wheels.

How much range is the 82 battery ?

 

[Eric9610]

Completely full charge on my car and my friends is 326. Also I can confirm that complete usable capacity is 79kwh.
