## Verdict

The Y40P pairs the same Gen 2 snow module with a newer drive system and a larger claimed area per charge, for $1,600 more than the Y40 bundle. It makes sense for bigger or hillier properties with good NetRTK coverage. Skip it until independent reviews arrive if you would rather buy the hardware that owners have already run through storms.

## Pros

- Claimed 7,000 sq ft per charge, up from 6,000 on the Y40
- Dual hub motors and 1.2 m/s top speed per Yarbo
- Two years of 4G service included
- Same 24 in two stage Gen 2 auger and 40 ft throw

## Cons

- $7,799 for snow only is $1,600 more than the Y40 snow bundle
- No independent hands on snow test of the Y40P found yet
