A few weeks after Tesla’s Battery Day, and fans and investors are still talking about the announcement of the 4680 battery.
Tesla has now made its slides from the event available for download to everyone through its website.
While the day included the announcement of the long-anticipated 4680 battery, Tesla CEO also announced the 2021 release of the Model S Plaid, a similarly long-awaited luxury performance model from the electric automaker’s lineup. Additionally, Musk announced plans to unveil a $25,000 car within the next few years, a feat almost unimaginable within the EV market.
So, now with the battery day presentation data in hand.
The slide shows a 25 x 44 cell configured pack = 1100 total cells.
108 cell groups don't make sense, @wk057 is it possible that the firmware supports 110 or 100 cell groups?
The math works out more cleanly as well.. https://t.co/LpQ6qsMchI pic.twitter.com/8R1Lsu4XW1— Scribe711 (@Scribe7111) September 29, 2020
The released slides share the ins and outs of battery production with the new 4680 batteries, as well as changes in body manufacturing and design and the process of refining lithium for its hardware.
Musk recently also confirmed a few new features on the internet, including a tap-to-enlarge feature on the backup cam, a structural battery pack for the Model S Plaid, and a bird’s eye view for Tesla cameras, to name a few. The CEO keeps a steady stream of announcements and surprise confirmations flowing from his Twitter feed.
