The reviewer explores the history and performance of the Tesla Model Y equipped with the BYD Blade LFP battery, exclusively produced at the Giga Berlin factory. This rear-wheel-drive, standard range variant is highlighted for its exceptional charging capabilities, achieving peak rates of 178 kW and maintaining high speeds from 10% to 70% state of charge, enabling 10-99% charging in just 35 minutes. This makes it remarkably fast for road trips, despite its lower overall range (around 440 km WLTP). The reviewer praises its robust thermal management, excellent cold-weather performance with full regen, and minimal degradation (1% after 30,000 km). The LFP battery's safety, stability, and cost-effectiveness are also noted. A significant drawback is its limited range, making it less suitable for remote locations. The reviewer expresses disappointment over its discontinuation in favor of the CL battery, deeming the BYD Blade Model Y the best Tesla for beginners due to its user-friendly charging behavior and affordability, especially in Europe.
