The watched event of Tesla has been moving the price of its shares for a long time and is provoking various speculations, as well as estimates by serious analysts. Many analysts expect a breakthrough in cell density, which has a key impact on the range and price of an electric car. Tesla boss Elon Musk has already promised that there will be more news. According to some speculations, Tesla may also introduce a new version of the Powerwall stationary home storage, which could accelerate decentralization in the energy sector.
For example, Dan Levy, an analyst at Credit Suisse, believes that the main topic of the event will be the price of batteries. According to him, Tesla could introduce a battery cell with a price tag of $ 75 per kilowatt hour. “Such a battery could turn an electric car into a mass affair,” Levy told Barron’s.

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas even suggests that Tesla could announce a plan to target a $ 50 kilowatt-hour battery. However, if Musk introduces a battery with any price tag below one hundred dollars per kilowatt hour, it will be good news for Tesla fans and investors, Barron’s estimates. Bloomberg estimates that the average cost of making a battery last year was around $ 156 per kilowatt hour. At around 100, electric cars should become more price-competitive with conventional cars.
However, such a price tag requires a much higher energy density in the cell than current batteries. However, there are reports on the Internet of an alleged new type of Tesla battery, which would have a density of a record density of 325 watt-hours per kilogram.
“If Tesla really got to that density, it would be very interesting. Today’s Teslas have a density of about 250, so the range could increase by tens of percent. In the end, the price could similarly fall significantly, “evaluates Tomáš Kazda from the Department of Electrotechnology FEEC BUT.
“If Musk reached this value without using even a small amount of cobalt, then Battery day really deserves the attention it deserves. The production of such cells would be much more environmentally friendly and, in addition, battery manufacturers would not be dependent on countries with authoritarian regimes such as the Congo, “he added.
And when exactly will Battery Day, which has been postponed several times, come? The presentation of the innovations has so far been announced on Tuesday 22 September. The time is not yet clear, it should happen after the annual general meeting of shareholders of Tesla, which takes place on the same day.
