Berlin-built Model Y Standard gets Super Manifold V2, the thermal module from the Cybertruck. What changes and what doesn't
Tesla is quietly fitting Super Manifold V2 to Model Y Standard cars built at Grünheide. It was spotted on a Coastal Blue Model Y Standard built on August 27, 2026. It promises more thermal capacity, but Tesla hasn't changed official range or charging figures.
Tesla has changed an important part on the Model Y Standard built at Grünheide, near Berlin, without any announcement. It's the Super Manifold V2, the module that combines the heat pump and the car's cooling circuits. It was spotted on a Coastal Blue Model Y Standard built on August 27, 2026, according to "Drive Tesla Canada" and "autoevolution", based on posts on the German TFF (Tesla Fahrer und Freunde) forum.
What the Super Manifold is
In short, it's the heart of the thermal system. A typical heat pump has 15–20 separate parts, with hoses and valves. Tesla packed them all into one block built around a circuit board, explains "Not a Tesla App". Next to it sits the Octovalve, the eight-way valve that sends heat where it's needed: from the motor and battery to the cabin in winter, or cooling for the battery at a Supercharger in summer.
The first version arrived with the original Model Y. Version 2 debuted on the Cybertruck, and Tesla announced it for the new Model Y in March 2025, in an interview with Sandy Munro given by Lars Moravy, Tesla's VP of vehicle engineering. Back then Tesla said it would phase it in gradually, at a different pace at each factory, depending on parts supply ("Not a Tesla App").
What was seen in Berlin
| Old version | Super Manifold V2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Part number | 1547595-00-H | 1735000-00-A |
| Marking on the part | no "V2" | SUPER MANIFOLD V2 |
| Design | previous assembly | more integrated, more parts in one block |

The exact changeover date is unknown. The August 27 car is the confirmed one, but an owner on the TFF forum reports the same part on a Model Y Standard built as early as June ("TeslAnt"). So not every new Model Y Standard is guaranteed to have it.
What you realistically gain
What's expected: more thermal capacity and more efficient temperature control. That should help in demanding situations: motorway driving in a heatwave, several fast charges in a row, battery preconditioning, cabin heating and cooling. "Schmidtis Blog" says the logical result would be steadier charging curves at Superchargers. We explained why that matters in our guide to the DC charging curve.
What has not changed: Tesla has not officially changed WLTP range, charging power or performance for V2 cars. There's no press release, no service bulletin, nothing in the configurator. The benefits above are inferred from the design, not measured. Nobody has yet published a test showing a Berlin-built Model Y with V2 charging faster, notes "TeslAnt". "autoevolution" even suggests the main beneficiary may be Tesla itself: simpler, cheaper production.
You can see how a Model Y Standard charges today in our 10–80% Supercharger test.
How to check whether your car has V2
- Tesla parts catalog: enter your VIN and look under "Original VIN Part" for 1735000-00-A (V2) or 1547595-00-H (old version). This is the most reliable method.
- Visually: the module sits on the left side, under the front trunk (frunk) tub. The new one is labeled SUPER MANIFOLD V2. You have to remove the tub to see it, so it's better to let a service center check.
The Model Y Standard sold in Romania comes from Grünheide, so cars delivered here may already have the new part. On paper nothing changes, and you can't choose it when ordering.
