Mentioning BYD always makes people think of blade batteries, so what about Tesla? Recently, Tesla officially delivered the first Model Y equipped with 4680 batteries. The highlight of this battery is that it charges quickly, 80% of the battery can be charged in 15 minutes, the battery life can be increased by 16%, and its manufacturing cost is lower, which is said to reduce the cost of the battery by 50%.
The 4680 version of model Y adopts the technology of integrated installation, which can reduce the endurance of the car at the same time, but whether the late all-in-one car will bring trouble to maintenance, this remains to be seen. It is reported that the new Model Y, with a range of 449 kilometers, will be a dual-motor four-wheel drive version, and the price of the first batch of models is 59,990 US dollars (about 381,000 yuan).
The 4680 version of Model Y uses three cutting-edge technologies, namely 4680 battery, CTC technology, and integrated die casting, although these technologies are more advanced, but they can reduce a lot of manufacturing costs. But you have to expect a sharp reduction in the price of the car, which is not very likely, after all, a lot of research and development funds have been invested in the early stage.
With the arrival of Tesla 4680 batteries, BYD blade batteries will also usher in new challenges, it is very likely that Tesla will rely on 4680 batteries, directly get rid of suppliers, Marx also said that the Austin factory will become the world's largest battery factory, do you think this battery has a great impact on new energy vehicles?
