Given Munro said you could pack damn near twice the amount of battery in the same space (75 vs 130), do you think LFP would work with 4680, even with lower energy density?
You have a secret database with data pulled from several companies. Uh huh. FWIW the CT obviously isn’t coming until next year or even 2023, but still, this is lowkey fishy.
No. Not at all. Article doesn’t remotely imply such a thing. CT isn’t coming early. Just enjoy your life and focus on other things for the rest of the year.
I still don’t see any kind of volume production happening until next year. Battery constraints being a big factor. It’s great they’re working on a pilot line. By the time giga Texas is built, they will have a well trained crew, a smoother production process, etc.
This is Tesla learning from...
For some reason I could see them using the LiFePo (I think that’s how it’s abbreviated) on the single motor at least. It’s far cheaper and maybe they could still get the 250+ range and a very long battery life (million miles).
They say they won’t use silicon, whereas tesla said they would on battery day. For its upsides and low costs, and apparent scalability, I don’t think Tesla bought these people
My guess is FSD will detect the speed bump ahead of time and adjust air suspension to where you barely feel it. Would be great if they had an option “ignore speed bumps”
