    1. That’s only the Cybertruck

    2. The 48V battery will become “the sole battery” for the electronics so nothing will change in that regard. They’re not connecting 400-1000v batteries to the electronics.

      The point I was trying to make is that the model y switched to 12v lithium batteries in late 2021 that are supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle (from the 2nd article). The 12v lead acid batteries you are used to seeing in every other car made since the 1960s usually only last 4-5 years.

      I would bet that the model y from this story is either a 2019 or 2020 model

        And what part of that were you referring to, specifically, when you said “not anymore”?
