[Tesla wants to cut prices again?] The new Model Y will use a 4680 battery and reduce costs by 14%]
Recently, according to foreign media reports, Tesla will produce a Model Y model loaded with a 4680 battery pack at its plant in Austin, Texas, and is expected to be officially delivered in March 2022.
As early as 2020, Musk announced the plan to install the 4680 battery, Musk said that the 4680 battery because of the electrodeless ear battery, can make the current movement path shortened, thereby reducing the internal resistance, reducing the current offset, and also can reduce the heat production problem during the use of the battery.
Compared with the 1865 and 2179 batteries, the diameter of the 4680 battery will increase by 1 times, the energy density will increase by 5 times, the actual mileage will increase by 15%, and Tesla has also solved the problem of battery production, making the cost of the 4680 battery reduced by about 14%, which means that the cost of Tesla brand models will be further reduced.
So the production cost of the Model Y using the 4680 battery will be further reduced, then the cost of this part of the reduction, whether it can eventually be converted into terminal discounts, depends on Tesla's own decision-making, after all, every time Tesla in the Chinese market reduces the price, it must be taken out and whipped once, so simply do not reduce the price, and then make money, and do not get scolded, this is not a two-for-one.
