MIAMI, FLORIDA - OCTOBER 21: People look at a Tesla Model Y electric vehicle on a showroom floor at the Miami Design District on October 21, 2021 in Miami, Florida. Tesla reported $1.6 billion in profits for the months of July, August, and September, a record for them.
Inside EVs notes in its report that the database of EPA disclosed that the new AWD configuration sports a 279 miles or 449 km range rating. The listing says that it sports 4680-type batteries.
