After the recent update of the Tesla Model Y user manual, the current manual directly refers to the structural battery pack picture of the new vehicle, as shown in the file, the model Y equipped with structural batteries has a slightly different jacking program, and their lifting points are in different positions compared to the previous iterations of the vehicle.
The updated Model Y manual also includes an illustration of the reference to the Model Y structural package outlining where the lift points of the updated Model Y are: "The following illustrations are provided to improve understanding of the concept, if your Model Y is equipped with a structural battery pack, the exact location of the lift point will be slightly different, please check the vehicle itself to know the exact location of the lift point.".
As for this structural battery, as the name suggests, Tesla's structural battery is built into the structural platform of the vehicle, which paves the way for several advantages that Tesla can take advantage of: According to Tesla's September 2020 Battery Day event, the structural battery will strengthen the model Y's body and chassis, thereby improving its strength and safety; the efficient use of tesla 4680 batteries in the structural battery can also help model Y improve its driving range while optimizing production costs.
Tesla's use of structural batteries may start with the Model Y, but this is just the beginning, considering the advantages of structural batteries, the upcoming Cybertruck and next-generation Roadster vehicles will also be equipped with this structural package, and over time, Model S, Model 3 and Model X will also adapt to structural batteries one by one.
