Part 2/13:
One of the most noteworthy developments is the addition of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version for the Model Y, simply branded as a Model Y without specific trim designations like "Standard Range." This new variant is likely equipped with Tesla's 4680 battery cell, coupled with a structural pack, marking a move toward more streamlined manufacturing and potential cost savings.
Priced approximately $3,000 less than the traditional Long Range model, this version offers a slightly reduced range—though Tesla hasn't officially labeled it as "Standard Range." Its performance metrics also differ slightly; it accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about five seconds, compared to 4.8 seconds for the Long Range version.
