Where Does It State My Battery Pack Size (kWh)?

[THEbuz]

Is the actual and usable battery pack size printed on a sticker somewhere and/or listed somewhere in the OS that we can research that? I read online (forgot to document the source) that claimed the following…

2023 Model Y Performance (LR/AWD)
BATTERY PACK SIZE
Total: 78.1 kWh
Usable: 75.0 kWh

2023 Model Y (LR/AWD)
BATTERY PACK SIZE
Total: 78.1 kWh
Usable: 75.0 kWh

2023 Model Y (RWD)
BATTERY PACK SIZE
Total: 60.0 kWh
Usable: 57.5 kWh

You can go into Service Mode (Search for, watch a Youtube video if you are unsure how to enter Service Mode.) You can display the battery specs in Service Mode.

MYLR and MYP should have 82kWh packs for some time now

Thanks—and your understanding of the “usable” portion (kWh) of that total battery pack size???

Take a look at post #2:

Battery size

So I downloaded the stats app in the iOS store to check it out. It’s a neat app. Is it worth the money, I don’t know. Have a 7 day trial. One thing I noticed the app states my battery full capacity is 84kWh. Tesla states the long range MY has a 75kWh battery. Is Tesla purposely understating the...

76K @ 100% seems a reasonable assumption, but then so would 77K.

No. Tesla doesnt disclose anything related to this anymore. The only way to know for sure is to tear down a pack and measure the output from one cell and multiply by the total number of cells to get total pack capacity. Everything else is just a best guess calculated by how much energy you add charging and subtracting estimate losses. You can measure through tracking sites/apps like Teslafi and Tessie and the like. I have not confirmed the Service mode option but that seems reasonable.

One question, to what end do you need to know?

I don’t “need” to know. I want to know. LOL

I have Tessie. Where can I find this info in Tessie?

Tessie app seems to be basing my reported 78.5kWh battery pack size on “the average original usable capacity of [my] Model Y configuration”. Not sure if this is accurate or not, but here is what battery pack specifications I found elsewhere on the web…

I just searched through the Service menus and could find no mention of the battery pack size.

I thought the battery test would provide information on the battery capacity but it only provides the percentage when fully charged as compared to a new battery.

Scan My Tesla can provide the nominal battery capacity. This software requires you to connect an ODBII adapter to your Tesla Model Y and a BT dongle.

As stated above, what you found online is wrong for 2023. It is based on the LR nomenclature from original Model 3. Over time the individual 2170 cells were changed to 2170L which added capacity.

In the real world, what the app and web report are irrelevant. Your car has a set battery that will go a certain amount of miles. Whether the battery is 50kwh, 80kwh or 200kwh is irrelevant other than considering cost of charging/operation. If the car say it’ll go 326 miles, does it matter what size the battery is? Stop stressing about whether the Tessie data matches what Google says.

I’m not stressing. What’s important to you is not what’s important to me. I just want to know what my total battery pack capacity is in kWh—range (in miles) notwithstanding.

This calculation to determine the battery capacity can get you close enough.

Agree about not having the same importance to different people. It’s all good. However, coming online, spending time searching and asking questions on a forum is seen as “stressing” about the actual capacity of your battery. Its ok if you want to stress about it.

A simple google search will get you the answer you desire (not sure where your initial results are from).

The Tesla Battery Health Test does provide information on the battery pack nominal capacity and the capacity when new. See post #81.

Seen that way by YOU. My Google search has netted me results that others on here have stated are incorrect. Don’t confuse my pursuit of truth with “stressing”. Carry on.

 

[Mrbrock]

What result are you looking for? Numerous people have told you the actual amount or ways to find it but you seem to be discounting them as incorrect and continue to search for other answers like there is a specific value you are looking for and wont rest until someone tells you that answer. Just trying to help.

I haven’t discounted anyone’s suggestions. I am grateful to all who have taken the time to reply (including you). I am just looking for something official from TESLA that contains the specific information I am seeking. Details on-screen; in SERVICE mode; printed on the door panel; under the hood; on TESLA.com—somewhere. Short of that, I guess I’ll have to settle for some of the great—albeit unofficial—suggestions from others. Thanks again!

You will not get anything official from Tesla. Their battery is proprietary and they do not release this information. It is why I suggested you shouldn't worry about this. You won't get an answer from Tesla.

I know this is an olde thread, but does anyone happen to know what the capacity is for the 2023 MY AWD (SR.)
