Tesla Model Y AWD with 4680 battery cells is now finally available in the online inventory of the Elon Musk-led electric vehicle (EV) maker.
It has been quite a while since the big boss of Tesla introduced the new 4680 battery cells. However, it has yet to be available on the EVs that the tech giant sells, until now.

Tesla Model Y AWD with 4680 Battery Now For Sale
The online inventory of Tesla now includes multiple Model Y All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles that sport the new 4680 battery cells, as per a report by Inside EVs.
Given that, the Model Y with 4680 batteries is now available online, a few years after Musk announced the proprietary cells.
The Tesla Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reportedly introduced the new proprietary 4680 battery cells during Battery Day. However, Musk went on to note during the announcement that it would take a while before it reaches the vehicle of the giant EV maker.
Since then, Inside EVs reports that Tesla has been working on the battery cells with its pilot line. Through the years, the automaker is perfecting how it manufactures the new 4680 batteries.
When the Giga Texas opened its doors, the giant automaker started shipping the Tesla Model Y crossover. And some assume that it already features that new battery cell. But it did not.
The Model Y with 4680 was reportedly available for a limited time locally.
