Additional Notes

  • The Tesla Model Y (USA) battery cooling system capacity is listed as a range of 17.6 to 18.6 liters across all configurations covered in the 2020-2023 specifications.
  • A capacity expressed as a range rather than a fixed value typically reflects variation between a partial drain and a full system overhaul fill, where the lower figure represents a service refill and the upper figure accounts for a completely dry system.
  • The 17.6-18.6 liter range applies equally to the rear-wheel-drive 192 kW and 202 kW variants, indicating no meaningful difference in battery cooling circuit volume between those two output levels.
  • The AWD 202 kW and AWD 317 kW configurations share the same 17.6-18.6 liter capacity specification as the single-motor variants, despite the addition of a front motor assembly.
  • The Model Y Performance AWD rated at 335 kW also falls within the same 17.6-18.6 liter capacity range, consistent with all other configurations in the 2020-2023 model year span.
  • All five configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacity figures are associated with standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only service scenario.
  • The specifications identify the coolant circuit in question as the battery cooling system specifically, distinguishing it from any other thermal management loops that may exist within the vehicle architecture.
