Tesla drivers can gain 80 km extra range if they pay just $1,600!

Tesla recently launched a software option to extend the range of standard-range Model Y vehicles, which were discontinued in the U.S. market.

The company revealed that these vehicles were equipped with the battery of the long-range rear-wheel drive Model Y and were software-limited. Tesla is now offering packages ranging from $1,000 to $1,600, promising an increase of up to 80 km in range.

This range extension option is available only for Model Y vehicles sold in the U.S. with Panasonic-produced NCA 2170 cells. In Europe and Turkey, the rear-wheel-drive versions use batteries produced by LG.
