LFP-Powered Tesla Model Y RWD Emerges In Canada via insideevs.com
An all-new rear-wheel-drive version of the Tesla Model Y has just emerged in Canada, which potentially might bring a breakthrough also for the United States.Drive Tesla CanadaRWD. In other words, it's a completely different version than the Model Y RWD offered for a short time in 2021.
That's very interesting news because the new entry-level version with less expensive batteries is noticeably more affordable. According to Tesla's website, the car starts at $59,990 CAD, which is $44,311 USD - that's $10,000 CAD or 14 percent less than the Model Y Long Range AWD.The less energy-dense battery pack will not enable the Model Y RWD to achieve the same range as the LR AWD version, but 245 miles "EPA est" does not sound bad.
The Canadian iZEV rebate of 3,692 is available for crossover/SUV models that start at up to $60,000 CAD, so the LR AWD version was not eligible. However, once a manufacturer offers a trim under the price cap of $60,000 CAD, then the entire model family becomes eligible for the iZEV rebate, up to a higher price cap of $70,000 CAD. This way, the Tesla Model Y RWD is eligible and LR AWD is eligible. The Performance version is too expensive to qualify anyway.As we understand, thanks to this move, Tesla might be able to noticeably increase sales of its Long Range AWD version, even if the availability of the RWD version would be limited .
Let's recall that on top of the federal incentive, there are also additional ones: British Columbia and Quebec .The main question is whether Tesla will soon introduce the LFP-powered Model Y RWD in the United States. Development is already done and customers might be interested, so there is a potential for that. On the other hand, Tesla might be reluctant because the company probably earns more on selling more expensive trims.
