Are you still waiting for a newTesla with higher capacity batteries? You will be able to get a Model Y with longer range once the company's employees have theirs. The Standard Range version of the Model Y uses 4680 cells and has a range of over 300 miles and a top speed of over 60 mph.

The 4680 cells are five times the capacity of the existing units. It means that the company can either use fewer batteries or extend the range of its vehicles.

The cheaper Model Y should be available in the coming weeks, at a time when all the carmakers are ready to offer us more EV options. Honda plans to launch 30 EV models by 2030, and we have news about Toyota's late-to-the-party electric car.
