When MIC Model Y Performance deliveries first started, a few owners noticed the upgrade, commenting that Tesla switched from a 12V lead-acid battery to a 16V lithium-ion battery. Lead-acid batteries cost less upfront but have significantly shorter lifespans. The 12v battery is designed for the LIFE OF THE CAR!

This is sorely needed, and no one else in the auto industry has anything like it. In the span of 15 years, the industry has gone from lead-acid to nickel-metal-hydride to the lithium-ion batteries used in Ford C-MAX and Ford Fusion hybrids on the road today. —Ted Miller, Ford’s manager of battery research.
