Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) debuted its Giga Texas factory in Austin with the Cyber Rodeo, marking the production of its new Texas-made Model Y vehicles. Although the factory has opened, customers still can't order the car and Tesla has also not publicly shared any details of the new vehicle.
A recently leaked email from Tesla shared by Drive Tesla Canada reveals some more details on the new Model Y variant. The Texas-made Model Y is using Tesla's new 4680 battery cells and structural pack. The range is 279 miles and its price will start at $59,990, which is quite expensive when compared to the Long Range Model Y, which has a 330-mile range with its price starting at $62,990.
