A small change to Model Y is listed, and it is recommended to wait for a big change in the middle of 24 years.

Before the Chinese New Year, major car companies have made great efforts to push their own new products, generation after generation, and update. Tesla launched a small change of Model Y on February 1st. This change is mainly a hardware upgrade and a new "Quick Silver" exclusive car paint. The price of the new Model Y is consistent with that of the 2023 model, and a total of three configurations have been launched, with a price range of 258,900-363,900 yuan.

This time, the slightly redesigned Model Y did not change its appearance like Model 3, with no screen shifting and no rear entertainment screen. The biggest change in hardware is to upgrade the new generation of automatic assisted driving HW4.0, equipped with seven binocular cameras with a maximum detection distance of 424 meters, and the number of pixels has increased from 1.2 million to 5 million, which is no exaggeration to describe the improvement effect. The upgraded Model Y car system, like the new Model 3, can present a brand-new 3D modeling effect on the central control panel, and scan the surrounding obstacles, vehicles, painted road signs and other objects more accurately, and the display effect is more realistic.

In terms of assisted driving, the computing power of HW4.0 chip is five times higher than that of HW3.0 chip. The most intuitive effect brought by the improvement of computing power is that the system will handle emergencies more accurately and respond more quickly. Combined with the camera with ultra-long detection distance, the perceptible range during driving is improved by more than one layer.

In addition to upgrading the new generation of auto-assisted driving hardware, Model Y also added the exclusive car paint "Kuaiyin", which was previously only available in the European market and is now open to customers in China. This color is special in its production process, with 13 layers of paint spraying, which is extremely rich in layering and can also produce different visual effects according to different lines of sight and light. This car paint is optional, and it will cost an extra 12,000 yuan.

In addition, Tesla renamed the two colors "China Red" and "Luminous Silver" as "Flame Red" and "Starry Grey", which are also optional items with a price of 12,000 yuan. The optional price of white and deep blue car paint is 8000 yuan, and black is still the standard color.

In terms of power, Tesla Model Y is available in two versions: single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-drive. The rear-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 220 kW, a peak torque of 440 Nm, and an acceleration time of 5.9 seconds per 100 km. It is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack with a capacity of 60 kWh, and its pure battery life under CLTC conditions is 554km. If you don’t have high requirements for performance and endurance, it is completely OK to choose this one if you use it to commute and pick up children.

The four-drive version with long battery life has a comprehensive power of 331 kW, a peak torque of 559 Nm, an acceleration time of 5 seconds per 100 km, a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 78.4 kWh, and a pure battery life of 688km under CLTC conditions. The long battery life version is more suitable for users who usually commute or go out for a longer time.

The Performance high-performance version has a comprehensive power of 357 kW, a peak torque of 659 Nm, an acceleration time of 3.7 seconds per 100 km, a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 78.4 kWh, and a pure battery life of 615km under CLTC conditions. In today’s domestic new energy car companies launch vehicles with zero acceleration of 3 seconds and 4 seconds, if you don’t want to sit at the table of children, then you can choose this high-performance version.

Finally, for users who purchase EAP, it should be noted that HW4.0 does not support the functions of automatic parking and calling vehicles for the time being, and will be opened one after another. In addition, I personally think that it is completely possible to wait until Model Y is completely redesigned, and it is not too late to buy a new one inside and outside. Of course, users who have bought Tesla have basically heard the saying that "you will never buy the latest Tesla". It is true that new energy car companies are very large now, and the speed of upgrading is getting faster and faster. However, some netizens said that buy early and enjoy early.
