Cybertruck will be profitable by end of 2024 & validation testing has begun for in-house dry cathode 4680 battery cells

Tesla sells LFP vehicles and reportedly is buying equipment for the same from CATL...

Don't forget that Tesla is working toward eliminating the cobalt - the limiting factor of NMC.

The contention that cylindrical cells are an impediment is so ill-conceived that I won't bother to address it.

Improvements in range are NOT JUST about the battery density.

In 3-6 years, Cybertruck range could increase due to multiple different improvements to vehicle:
more battery cells
higher energy density cells
lighter weight of vehicle
better aerodynamics
more efficient inverter ( electricity conversion from DC battery to AC motors )
more efficient motor controller
more efficient motors

How about just a smaller lighter CT!!! Not everyone buys a F150 or Silverado. Tacoma is a good seller too. Every 1 Tacoma for about 4 F150...

Now that indeed may come a lot faster than 50% range increase!

A lower priced midsized “Wolverine“ SS Cybertruck would be a huge hit. Keep the Cybertruck styling exactly the same but shrink the dimensions.
