During Q2/2023 earnings report, Tesla stated this. (see below). That makes me think that the 500-mile Cybertruck won't be available right away. Also, Panasonic stated last year that their 4680 cell for Tesla will be available in Q2/24 and my guess is that this Panasonic/Japan cell will actually be the 500-mile rage solution. Any thoughts on this? NOTE -- difficult to imagine Tesla running different lines with different chemistries, especially so early in the ramp-up process.
"Against our battery energy density targets, the cyber cell is at our expectations on a like-for-like electrochemistry basis, where we're yet to integrate silicon or in-house cathode production, both reviewed on Battery Day, which do bring significant further energy density and cost improvements. But that is a topic for another day".
