Tesla replaced the rear-wheel drive variant in its Model Y lineup with a long-range rear-wheel drive variant in May. The new variant has a range of 320 miles, much higher than the 260 miles range on the variant it replaced despite having the same starting price of $44,990.
特斯拉在5月份用长续航后驱车型替换了其Model Y系列的后轮驱动车型。新车型的续航里程为320英里，比之前的260英里续航里程高得多，尽管起始价格相同，为44,990美元。
As a resolution for older customers who purchased the RWD variant, Tesla CEO Elon Musk then said the older RWD vehicles built by the company over the past several months can get more range for an additional $1500 to $2000 depending on the battery cells employed. This would add 40 to 60 miles of range to the car, he said, while adding that the company is working through regulatory approvals to enable it.
作为解决老客户购买RWD车型的问题，特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克随后表示，过去几个月内由公司制造的旧款RWD车辆可以通过额外支付1500到2000美元（取决于使用的电池单元）来获得更多的续航里程。他说，这将为汽车增加40至60英里的行驶里程，并表示公司正在通过监管批准来实现这一目标。
"We have to pay the bills somehow," Musk said as a reason for the extra charge.
“我们必须想办法支付账单，”马斯克表示这是增收的原因。
Why It Matters: Tesla has now seemingly got the approvals. While some RWD owners can now get 30 miles of added range for $1000, others can add 50 miles for $1600, depending on the battery cells deployed in their cars.
为什么它重要：特斯拉现在似乎已经获得了批准。虽然一些RWD车主现在可以花费1000美元获得30英里的额外续航里程，但其他车主可以根据其汽车中使用的电池单元增加50英里的续航里程，价格为1600美元。
The Model 3 and Model Y account for a whopping majority of Tesla's overall deliveries. In the second quarter, Tesla delivered 422,405 Model 3 and Model Y, accounting for a whopping 95% of the company's overall global deliveries.
Model 3和Model Y车型占据了特斯拉整体销量的绝大多数。在第二季度，特斯拉交付了422,405辆Model 3和Model Y车型，占公司整体全球交付量的95%以上。
Tesla now offers four variants of the Model 3 in the U.S. and just three variants of the Model Y.
特斯拉现在在美国提供了四个版本的Model 3，以及仅提供三个版本的Model Y。
