The 2022 Tesla Model Y AWD (4680) was an SUV produced from 2022 to 2023. It features a dual motor (permanent magnet + ac induction) AWD powertrain. EPA-rated range is 279 miles. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds. Top speed is 135 mph. Manufactured at Austin, TX (Giga Texas).
A milestone hiding behind a plain name. The Model Y AWD that emerged from Giga Texas in April 2022 was the first production car with Tesla's 4680 cells and the first with a structural battery pack, where the cells form part of the vehicle's body.
Rated at 279 miles, it sat below the Long Range on range but proved out the manufacturing ideas Tesla now uses for the Cybertruck. Early build numbers were small, and the trim faded away in 2023 as Austin shifted to standard packs, making 4680 first-runs a quiet collectible.
