Tesla Model Y & 3 Getting a Huge Battery Refresh | Here's The Problem

[@RyanShawtech]

Check Out Recurrent Today: bit.ly/recurrent-site

[@rostyloco1]

I would double check that claim that they should be charged to 100%. I remember Engineering explained said its still better to do 10%-75% and a monthly 100% charge for calibration purposes.

[@ripvanstinkle]

"HUGE" battery update might've been overselling it a bit.

[@chidorirasenganz]

Maybe a “little” 😅

[@chrisllaca1443]

For real

[@JC-cf4rs]

Well Ryan has played the “new juniper leaks” to death … he needed something new

[@rowanbroekman3929]

4% and less weight on top of it probably extends the range by 6% or so. Certainly not bad.

[@kreeshanman]

​@rowanbroekman3929 Also certainly not "huge" as well

[@DickyChap]

A 500 mile range Model 3/Y would be a gamechanger. Here in Western Australia we have an unreliable fast charging network, so a car that can miss at least one broken location would be a major safety advantage.

[@blurglide]

A 500 mile 3 or Y would make me consider getting rid of my gas roadtrip vehicle (MDX)

[@ACGBLR]

We will probably never see that. As battery tech advances, I see Tesla downsizing the battery to reduce costs. I imagine they will keep vehicles in a 230-370 pending on trim level.

[@Luke-qs2cg]

Build infrastructure rather than more town center entertainment and tourism centers 🤷‍♀️ it's massively underutilized land mass is telling

[@blurglide]

I have a 363 mile range model 3, but I'd still not take it on most of my typical road trips. Much longer trips, it barely saves any money with Supercharger rates, and it has no spare tire.

[@bryanmiller2023]

​@@blurglideI can't help but wonder what's holding you back? In eleven months I already have 24,000 miles on my standard range (272 mile) Model 3. It works great on long trips, just a little bit of planning for charge stops and Tesla Supercharging is super reliable. My gas cars hardly get used any more. I have found supercharging is cheaper than gas but then that also depends on where you are charging.

[@RussellFineArt]

Where was the "huge battery refresh" announcement, I missed it? ~2% capacity increases isn't huge, in fact, it's defined as negligible, at best.

[@georgepal9154]

4.2% increase and a 44 lbs weight reduction. Probably some reduced cost because it's LFP.

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@georgepal9154also I think it’s supposed to charge faster

[@SlipperyCouch1]

The 48v system doesn't drop the current "by a quarter". it drops it "to a quarter" of the 12v equivalent amperage.

Math is hard 😂😂😂

[@olemissjim]

Look up Ohms Law. Resistance squared is more of a factor than 4x voltage tho.

[@bikepatrick]

It is worth noting that the MY free SC for 1 year was only offered in November and if you got a December delivery date and Tesla delivers in January, you don't get free SC. Despite the delivery delay being entirely Tesla's fault. We were so excited to get free SC and Tesla just called to say they will deliver Jan 4th and we're not getting free SC. Why do I get the feeling that the parking lot at Tesla is going to be very full in the last week December?

[@markrolls5905]

Ryan, this is the model 2, add a steering wheel & pedals as the mounting points will be in the giga castings for both robotaxi & m2, change out the rear trunk lid with a glassed version, add 2 rear sears as the long scissor doors will allow easy ingress to the rear if there is a motorised passenger seat & yes I believe there is plenty of room in the rear for these rear seats as the rear room is massive going x what we spotted on we robot day, the trunk is very wide due to what I believe will be front wheel drive only, it is very high & long also so plenty of room in my estimation. This is guess work only but time will tell 🤔

The M3P is an exceptional car indeed, but it actually falls short if tracked. Reviews of the car have found that it doesn't even manage a couple of laps on a short circuit due to the brakes overheating. I just think this should be taken into consideration when reviewing the car's performance, not only its remarkable 0-60 time.

Hi Ryan, the mov e to 48 V architecture reduces the current TO 1/4, not BY 1/4 (i.e. by 3/4), since V=IR and if the voltage is increase x4, the current is reduced to 1/4.

[@bradroth7005]

So, I have a highland LR awd... I opted for it over the performance. There are things I just dont like about the performance that come, that I dont need on a daily driver. The first is the low profile side wall tires... HORRIBLE as a daily city driver.... I wanted more meat on the bone so I opted for 18in standard wheels. 2nd is the seats... I am not using my car for the track , I dont really want high side bulsters.... and 3rd is LESS range. The things like more about the performance is the front bumper has more style with inlets like the old model 3 , instead of more flat.

[@donaldduck5731]

The new Tesla M3 is an amazing car for sure, especially the RWD LR, with a decent range, but in Europe with lots of small roads, roundabouts etc, indicators on stalks are kinda a requirement. There are some aftermarket stalks appearing so its not a show stopper anymore hopefully.

[@dvader3263]

Yes, I like stalks, but I've found during FSD trial period on my MY, the vehicle automatically uses the turn signals in roundabouts. Using buttons on the steering wheel for turn signals, even in roundabouts, seems to still work.

Free supercharging isn't a big deal because it's so cheap to charge at home.

I don’t charge at home, but concede that I’m in the minority on this; most people I know won’t consider a Tesla if there’s no way to charge at home.

I just ordered a cyber truck 2 days ago. I'll pick it up Friday and I leased it. The guy at the showroom said he's getting a whole lot of customers who are leasing them.

check out the the electric Mercedes CLA at the end of next year, it has cutting-edge technology and beats the Model 3 in every metric possible. If the vehicle should be cheaper and can also be smaller why not go for next gen Chevrolet Bolt EV, it should be available in 2025 and pretty much offer the most range for the money while also driving very solid.

The 2024 model 3 is a solid choice. Model y adds more space and utility but the model 3 is just a better car. If considering something else, do yourself a favor and avoid hybrids.

Hi Ryan! Could you make a video talking about Uber and Tesla? I heard that Uber has an app that it is already integrated to Tesla software.

[@DavidJones-kb3bd]

As a long time Tesla owner (Roadster, Signature S and now a Model 3 AWD (1st gen 2018), I am glad to see them keep innovating. But there are those little things like the lack of car play. I have wanted it since day 1. The ability to more readily use Waze for navigation (if I am not using FWD with integrated navigation) is highly desirable to me. I would love to be able to mirror my iPhone to the screen without using third party hardware/software to take advantage of the better browser. But lacking these features will not keep me from buying another Tesla one day!

Definitely going to disagree on the pdp. Mine (PDP pro FS) has had multiple issues. Bought an M&P performance center to replace it. It has the dynamic performance trigger, and out of the box, the canik was better. It's not even close to my M&P with the apex. it could be the performance center polishing or which springs were used, but the M&P with apex, blows the PDP away on pull and reset.

I think that Tesla need to come up with more variants to maintain their attraction in the European market. We need station wagon/shooting brake and hatchbacks. Sedans don’t sell in Europe. 80-90 % of VW Passat and Ford Mondeo were station wagons. With the move to SUVs they were all station wagon shape until Audi gave users a choice. Still most customers pick the station wagon shape.

[@user-hz3eu5in]

Sedans don't sell anywhere anymore. I don't get it, what is wrong with all these companies? They hire all these CEOs and pay them millions, and those guys don't even know that Mid Size SUV is where ALL the money is now? Look at Rivian. On the brink of bankruptcy and only NOW they are planning to release a midsize SUV hoping to save the company. Really??? Where were their brains before? Even Tesla made the same mistake. They live off Tesla Model Y now, that is their best seller. But it was one of the last to be released and it still does NOT get any respect from Tesla! Gets upgrades the latest, they don't make different versions of it.

I loved (used to) the Tesla’s looks and ideals. Now however, I think there are too many safety issues Tesla has willingly chosen to put into their car by choice. Removing safe and easy access to the door handles, both inside and outside. Getting out in a hurry is paramount for me. The iPad on the dash should NOT be in charge of everything, speedo, lights, indicators, doors, windows, the list goes on. These basic car functions for me are all safety features that should remain basic. Humans have fine motor skills when NOT under pressure. Unfortunately these disappear in a hurried situation for things such as ‘fight or flight’ where adrenaline kicks in and removes those fine motor skills. Trying to play with an iPad in an emergency is purely stupid, and dangerous. There is an age old adage that should be in place here - KISS principle. (Keep It Simple Stupid). That is why just recently in France and now Canada, two car loads of innocent human beings were basically incinerated. They could not get out, and people outside could not save them. - Safety, safety, safety! Do better Tesla and go back to what a car is. Yep, great EV, but keep it as a car, not a computer terminal or Xbox on wheels, or a mobile phone with all the buttons now removed. You have gone too far

[@user-hz3eu5in]

True. Adn why do we need to keep this big TV in the middle of the dash always ON, wasting energy? Physical buttons for most commonly used features, small screen behind the wheel for speedo etc, but the big TV should be switchable on and off for when you need it. And if Tesla really wants to make their cars more affordable both with initial purchase price AND ongoing costs (insurance) AND make the car actually better at the SAME time - then start from getting rid of the stupid glass roof! Stupid thing has no use, no advantage. Just added cost and a lot of problems. Especially in hot climates.

[@TheBunnyTheBearFan]

Elon actually has to try in Europe vs America (where Tesla is the only major EV player). He also went out of his way to say that he wants the EV tax credit abolished, specifically because it would hurt literally every other company making EVs except for Tesla, and that does not mean he is going to lower the prices by 7500. He'll keep prices the same and just say that "you should pay what it's worth" knowing damn well it's a near-monopoly situation and he makes ~14% profit per car, which is significantly higher than the industry average.

[@malcolmrickarby2313]

@ Innovation comes at a price. I don’t know what you know, but Elon got literally millions of dollars in subsidies that kept Tesla afloat in the first place, and now is actively using his wealth made from those subsidies to prevent competition. Plenty of innovation comes with a price, and it’s a BS move Elon is pulling.

Ryan. Please dedicate an episode specifically to the $7500 federal tax credit and when is the soonest that Trump will be able to get rid of it. Do we have to buy in 2024? Even if Trump wants to get rid of it, can he do it in 2025? many of us are ready to buy, but are waiting until next year to see how the model Y looks and costs. But we might not want to wait if we know for sure that the tax credit will not be available in 2025. Why is nobody able to answer this question. I would start with the worst case, scenario assumption that he wants to get rid of it as fast as possible. If that turns out to be true Procedure early, when would that be?

[@keep-ukraine-free]

Americans are taught in school how our federal government works. No president can make or repeal national laws. Only Congress can. And trump can't be president before January 20, 2025. So he needs Congress to repeal the set of laws that comprise the $7500 tax credit. Congress needs *_minimally_* a few months to enact such changes. Also, almost always, new laws include a "grace period" that gives people extra time to adjust to the change. So realistically the $7500 credit will remain for the first half of or maybe even all of 2025 -- that is if Congress agrees with trump's goal of abolishing it. If Congress doesn't, then the tax credit could stay for much much longer. Not a done deal, but obviously trump will try. He'll threaten others, to get his way.

[@tortoise62]

Congress controls the purse. Keep an eye out for any Bill that cancels the IRA. I won’t happen overnight. I expect there to be a great deal of buzz for the end of rebates.

[@Zodiac83104]

No one knows when Trump will get rid of it. He just announced he will be getting rid of it. It’s very possible the refresh won’t be here until end of 2025/26. With Elon on his team and supporting terminating the incentive, I don’t see the credit lasting long. Definitely not long enough for the refresh. If I were you take advantage of the 8500 off (credit + referral) and get the Y now because knowing the credit is going it should increase everyone’s values shortly. The current Y RWD gets 330mi and is worth getting now. If you think you’ll want the refresh, it may be worth getting it now with the $8500 off and then trade it in, possibly with positive equity or break even by then since there won’t be an existing credit. The change could be immediate. He could sign an executive order and be done with it 🤷‍♂️

[@luisbraz-ruivo]

So sales are slumping in Europe. Could it be because Musk decided to be involved in very polarized politics, and it is taking a a side that sees little appeal on EVs and denies climate change.

@ Thanks for the info. Had not heard.

I imagine Tesla prices will drop when the tax credit disappears, maybe for all makers. Why not increase the prices by the exact amount of the credit to pocket that cash themselves rather than consumers reaping all the benefit.

[@thememeaficionado5358]

@andrewfromm6565 That is what some people are speculating. I'm really hoping for it to have a true 34k vehicle price tag as opposed to 42k that is then subject to sales tax. The sales tax doesn't go based off the post rebate price.

Readers Beware! This writer WAS going to 'go for broke" and get a new Highland. BUT for me in Maine I would have to drive to New Jersey!! to pick up the Tesla. New Jersey, the cesspool of America! no thank you too much- I will NOT drive hours to risk life and limb to buy ANY car in New Jersey. Add to this, the nearest service center is +03 hours away, one way, from my location. SO, if you want to buy an Tesla check where you will get it and service it.

lucrative means "very profitable", free supercharging generates no profit for the end user, it merely eliminates an expense.

A 4% increase in energy is NOT a 4% increase in power. As little content as is presented in these videos, at least you could get that right.

Supercharging all year the battery is destroyed...We Supercharg 3-10 times a year. It's a 200 dollar saving. 🙄🥱
