Tesla aims to better its existing line of electric vehicles, and its solution is to roll out multiple updates to enhance the vehicle's performance and capabilities. In these previous weeks, Tesla worked on its various vehicles to be updated and improve.

Model Y Update 2020.40.7

According to Electrek, Tesla is now pushing a new software update for one of its top-selling vehicle, the Model Y, to have a better range and overall performance. Tesla notes this update to have "improved efficiency," giving out the vehicles' maximum capabilities, never before seen.

Mainly, Model Y's update will focus on its motors' efficiency and the climate system known to take the most significant chunk out of a system's battery life. Despite having old batteries in one's car, Tesla guarantees a broader range for the vehicle and a better performance all-in-all.

Tesla, however, notes that the new update will have no impact on two things: the electric vehicle's acceleration systems and overall climate control performance. The patch guarantees a better Model Y once it's updated, giving the car a new life to its owners.

Electrek's report notes another massive performance boost for the Model Y that comes with the update 2020.40.7. Tesla's proposed update was centered on efficiency improvements for the electric vehicle's powertrain and its High-Value Access Control (HIVAC) systems.

Reportedly, the Tesla Model Y gives off an impressive 320 to 325 miles of range from the new update. The owner's testimonies noticed the improved range of the vehicle from the software patch immediately, as the car gives off a longer drive time.

Tesla Model Y previously clocks a benchmark 315 miles of range for its vehicles, a substantial difference of 10 miles from the present update. The vehicle's current landing page on Tesla's website now clocks 326 miles on its advertised range, portraying that the Model Y will all come out with better mileage in future purchases.

Electric vehicles are a thing of the future, and Tesla's update for the Model Y can testify to that statement. The car's entire patch relied only on wireless internet connectivity, particularly the Wi-Fi, to improve its systems and send out specific patches on the vehicle's systems.

Tesla also refreshed its Model 3 and other vehicle's performance through software updates. Gone are the days when vehicles will need to go to shops or the dealership's service bay for its performance updates called upon by the manufacturers.

The vehicle's intuitive touchscreen "infortainment" system holds the key for all of the vehicle's settings and needs. The electronic device hooked up to the car's CPU rolls out the software patches and everything that makes the car function. Model Y drivers are now experiencing better performance without the risk and hassle of going out.
