I WANT A TESLA MODEL Y BUT WORRIED ABOUT 4680 CELLS

EV Channels Review

The hosts address a viewer concerned about the charging speed of Tesla Model Y vehicles equipped with 4680 battery cells. While acknowledging that these cells may charge slightly slower (around 10 minutes longer for a 10-80% charge compared to older 2170 cells), the consensus is that this difference is not a significant drawback for most users, especially given the Model Y's overall efficiency and range. The hosts emphasize that for infrequent long trips, the extra charging time is negligible, akin to an "extra cup of coffee." They also highlight the current attractive pricing and inventory availability of the Model Y, particularly the Long Range AWD trim, making it a compelling purchase despite the minor charging speed concern. Other vehicles like the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Chevrolet Blazer EV were briefly mentioned as alternatives but the Model Y was strongly recommended for its value, space, and efficiency for the viewer's specific needs.
