Recently Tesla is also frequently appearing in people's eyes, some time ago Tesla launched its own rocket to launch several rich people to the International Space Station, this matter has made Tesla attract the attention of the world, and recently Tesla has made a big move.
According to the authoritative media reports of foreign media, we can get these news: Recently, after the opening of CyberRodeo at Tesla's Texas Gigafactory, Tesla officially delivered the first batch of mass-produced Model Y with 4680 batteries.
Before Tesla Battery Day in 2020, Tesla and Panasonic discussed, and after studying the cost, the balance of the vehicle itself, and other possibilities brought by cylindrical batteries, the 4680 was confirmed as the best size for automotive batteries.
Originally Tesla used a 2170 battery, but now the 4680 battery can provide 6 times the power, and the vehicle's endurance increases by 16%.
In terms of battery suppliers, Tesla and Panasonic have always maintained a good cooperative relationship, and the cooperation of 4680 batteries is also the fastest, and 4680 batteries have been initially mass-produced.
We in China as Tesla's largest overseas market, but for some unspeakable reasons can not give priority to the 4680 batteries produced in the Austin factory, the batteries they produce will most likely be given priority to the North American market, to meet the needs of the North American market Model Y model, it is possible to supply China, Europe and other markets.
At present, the domestic OEM production of Tesla Model Y to replace with 4680 batteries, the high probability is provided by LG Energy Solution and Ningde Times, these two who can get such a large order contract from Tesla, the most important thing is to see the two companies who can take the lead in developing 4680 batteries.
It is hoped that domestic new energy vehicles can also face difficulties and enter overseas markets as soon as possible.
