One of Tesla’s biggest cooperation partners, Panasonic, has announced that mass production of 4,680 battery cells will not be able to start even until March next year. Most likely, Panasonic will start producing batteries of the new type only in the fall of 2024.
The 4680 battery format is a kind of magic wand for electric car manufacturers, as this type of battery would provide about 15% more mileage without increasing the space occupied by the batteries in the cars.
Tesla produces its own batteries in California and the Texas Gigafactory, it is also promised that Tesla will increase its production volumes, but the company is also heavily dependent on cooperation partners. Already 4680 battery cells are used in Model Y cars, these 4680 battery cells are manufactured in the Texas Gigafactory. The 4,680 battery cells are also expected to be used in the Tesla Cybertruck, which should reach buyers en masse sometime next year.
