Tesla has started delivering its new Model Y Standard Range AWD with the 4680 structural pack. It seems it charges more quickly than some may have anticipated.
Tesla first began delivering the refreshed Model Y at the Giga Texas opening ceremony. Despite having 4680 cells and a structural battery pack, the vehicle only has a 279-mile EPA range. At the time Tesla said the small battery pack was the reason for the limited range. And today we learned that the refreshed Model Y only has a 50KWh battery pack.
This is a Standard Range AWD model, even though the sticker only lists it as a Model Y AWD; it's got an EPA range of 279 miles and it cost just over $60,000.
