Local German publication Tesla mag, Giga Berlin’s produced by BYD Equipped with LFP battery pack Tesla Model YIt states that it has started production. The report states that the battery model is attached to the new floor covering. TürkiyeConsidering that Tesla also bought Model Ys from Germany, it interests Tesla fans very closely.
Tesla is quietly releasing the entry-level Model Y in various markets, but these vehicles have little in common. The entry-level Model Y in the US is now simply called the Model Y and has a single electric motor powering the rear wheels, has an EPA rating of 279 miles, and does 0/60 mph in 5.0 seconds. This 49,990 from dollars starting.
An entry-level Model Y in Canada, on the other hand, starts at $43,800 and has a range of 245 miles – because it comes with an LFP battery pack. And neither is it a completely new trim, it was available in Europe as the Model Y SR + RWD.
The difference between these vehicles and those reported by Teslamag is the LFP so far battery packs come from catl and 60 kWh capacity. Reported battery this time comes from BYD and after some research we found an EU type approval for the Tesla Model Y with a built-in 55 kWh LFP battery. Battery manufacturer? Yes, BYD.
WLTP rates the new battery pack at 440km, which is 15km less than what the CATL pack offers, the EPA rating is not yet available but will be lower than the current LFP battery as well.
New Model Ywhich comes with both front and rear mega casts will be the first model, it was previously reported that maga casting machines are already in place at Giga Berlin. There are 8 mega casting press units planned for the factory.
If this report turns out to be true, it will mean that CATL-equipped Model Y from Shanghai will no longer be imported into Europe. This will of course depend on the increased production of the Giga Berlin, but the team at the plant is breaking new production records almost every month.
