On January 27, in Tesla's new earnings conference call, Musk said that there will be no new models this year, and Tesla's goal this year is to focus on improving mass production capacity, which directly shows that the most anticipated Tesla $25,000 model will not have the opportunity to go on the market
In addition, the most worrying thing for users is when will the 4680 Model Y come? For this problem, Musk also said that Tesla is producing a Model Y equipped with a 4680 battery at the Austin factory, and the first vehicles equipped with a 4680 structural battery pack are likely to be delivered by the end of this quarter!
edit
According to foreign media reports, the first delivery of the Model Y equipped with 4680 batteries is only for the United States and Europe, and the Chinese market may need to wait until the end of 2022 or 2023 to arrive, which is because the battery supply model of the Shanghai factory is not the same.
This also shows that Tesla's long-term layout of the 4680 is finally going to be mass production delivery, in fact, the 4680 battery as the most core component of the electric vehicle, determines the range of the electric vehicle, charging speed, etc., so it is the blood of the electric vehicle of the electric vehicle, for which Tesla has invested a lot of money to develop a new faster and more efficient battery!
4680 battery, width of 46nm, length of 80mm, the battery capacity will be increased by 5 times, energy density will be increased by 15%, the vehicle mileage increased by 16%, power output 6 times, the cost per kilowatt is reduced by 14% ~ ~
So the question is, how much can the Model Y be reduced by equipped with a 4680 battery?
At present, the price of the highest version of the model is about 387,900 yuan, and according to the relevant display, the cost of the power battery is about one-third of the cost of the whole vehicle, and the battery cost is about 130,000 yuan, so according to Tesla, the battery cost is reduced by about 14%, then the Model Y equipped with 4680 batteries will likely be reduced by nearly 20,000 yuan!
In addition, with Tesla's integrated die-casting technology, the application of CTC technology gradually matures, Tesla will continue to reduce in the future manufacturing end, while Tesla has said that relying on 4680, CTC and other technologies, battery costs are expected to be reduced to 56%, endurance increased by 54%, investment production costs fell by 69%!
The most critical thing is that some people have speculated that Tesla will superimpose battery technology innovation such as anode materials and cathode materials, then the cost reduction will be about 6000-8000 US dollars, if you continue to superimpose battery packs, integrated die casting and other technologies, the final cost of Model Y will drop nearly 10,000 US dollars~ ~
However, this is only speculation from the outside world, whether it can be reduced to this extent, can only wait for the official announcement of Tesla in the later stage!
