Hey there, thx for making this video. Ordered a Tesla model Y RWD last week and didn't know about the battery change. Looks like i'll also have BYD battery's in mine. Can't wait. :)

Thanks for sharing. I will be picking up my inventory Model Y this friday. I asked the tesla guy on the phone to give me a VIN with the "E" BYD blade battery, no problem. Looking forward for your videos in the future.

Called my local tesla dealer and had them check a vin number on an inventory car, she said the e or es vin just was an internett rumor? Anhow a car with es vin had premium stereo system and byd blade battery so maybe it was right…

Followed your advice and ordered an inventory car with the correct vin number, got the order in before the latest price adjustment too😊

Congrats!

I just ordered one (midnight cherry red) I had no way to impact the battery type - so I got an F which is CATL. Initially I was annoyed. But there is one other benefit than the 2 kWh. As it charges slightly slower by reducing the charge speed earlier - it should wear slightly less. (We also have a model 3 LR awd which we could use if we want fast chargibg - it takes 250 kW no problem with the Panasonic cells).

The benefit is that the battery is larger. I’m just putting the information out there 🙌 I’m sure you’ll love the Y!

We own 2 model Y RWD and live in Canada 🇨🇦 driving in -39c 😊 We have Michelin X Ice tires installed on a 2nd set of rims. Model Y RWD sold in Canada come with the LFP battery so we can charge to 100% daily

Have one Berlin Y 2024 much better than our 2020 M3 regarding noice and charging speed. Went for Tesla 2013, 2014 and 2015 and still have these three S cars that work great and some of them have been driven over 360.000 km and still feel almost as new. We have free SuC on 3 of our cars. Don’t forget to charge 100% once a week to balance the batteries. Volkswagen still have so much to learn from Tesla, we did buy one but sold it after one year due to software and charging issues.

Just ordered mine. I had it changed from a F to an E in the 7th position. Had to change outside colors from black to white for Tesla to accept the change. Was a no brainer for me to get the fastest charging battery. Thanks for your great content.

Slightly off topic but just out of curiosity: did you even consider not ordering anything and wait for the Juniper update? Thanks for the info by the way, for myself i am currently hesitating between ordering the RWD with BYD battery or waiting for the Juniper... Just cannot make up my mind...

@RoamingNorway

Not off topic at all! Juniper will probably make the Y a more luxury car and make it compete in even more segments. I’m sure it’ll fit the car, and will be worth waiting for. For this purchase, the Y with comfort suspension is pretty great! And it has stalks, which I think is a good thing. Also the car was needed right now.

@diy_etc

5 ай бұрын

@@RoamingNorway Thanks for getting back. Agree with the stalks, that is one of my motivations also to just get the current model. Did you also drive in the Highland already? Everyone seems so positive about the silence compared to the previous model, but I actually can't find any comparison between the quality of the Highland and the current model Y from Berlin (as the current model y from Berlin seems to be a good upgrade compared to the previous versions). So I was wondering if you could say that the Highland would be at the same level as the current model Y Berlin, or is it really a very next level in you opinion?

Yes I have videos on the Highland. It is more comfortable than the newest Model Y right now, mostly in terms of noise. The speakers are a step up, even though they are fantastic in the Y as well. I have multiple videos on my channel on both these cars. @@diy_etc

Hello. As I'm thinking about purchasing the new M3, I don't know if you can help me clarify the following: knowing that the LR's batteries are slower to charge above 80% (which I know is not advisable for everyday life), I wonder if the LFP batteries (which equip the SR) are also the same (since it is advisable to charge them to 100% on a daily basis). Thanks

@RoamingNorway

Hi! LFP batteries should charge faster above 80% than normal, NCA, batteries. They have a flatter curve all throughout. If you order, consider using my referral :)

This is awesome. I got ES that is obviously the BYD blade battery. I can notice a huge difference. I got a loaner car (LR model) for a week. When it was -20c, the CATL battery struggled to charge with 1-phase 12A. I could get only 10% over the night. When I got my new SR with the BYD blade battery, i can charge 30% easily over the night when it was also -20c. The efficiency is noticable.

Interesting to see the differences between Norway and The Netherlands. The RWD here costs 43k so it's more expensive (although there's 3k government incentive for cars under 45k). We don't have the option to get studded winter tires and the trailer hook costs €1350 to add!

Like I say in this video, they make both. It’s not much worse, it’s actually quite fine, but the BYD charges significantly better.

Giga Berlin ships with both batteries in parallel. So it’s random which you get. The CATL battery is 2 kWh larger, but has worse charging performance. Still a good LFP battery.
