    I think the cells in this pack are unlike the structural packs using 4680 cells. In the latter, cells are glued together and themselves bear structural loads. Blade prismatic cells are dropped into a strong tray. It's the tray that bears loads.
    The takeaway for me is that Tesla is truly agnostic about battery tech. They will take any cell that meets their standards and engineer a pack for it to get cars produced and into the hands of consumers.

    @rogerstarkey5390 Год назад +1

    For those saying "they can't (fully) solve the DBE process".
    .
    You've been given a clue by Tesla when they mention various iterations (upgrades) to the DBE machines.
    Do you think they simply install the "Mark 2" machine and throw the "mark 1" away?
    .
    They get the Mk 2 to speed, then UPGRADE the Mk 1, they then feed the "Canning process" plant with both machines.
    .
    I think they're up to version 6(?)
    .
    There's no reason they couldn't say "DBE Cathode production is slow, install 15 units, run them (reliably!) at 7% maximum while we develop the process"
    .
    It will take up some extra space, but you get the "cans" leaving the factory at the desired rate.
    As the process is refined, add (for arguments sake) a "30% production" machine, test it, modify 3 of the 15 old machines, test them, then move the others to a second and third canning line, modifying as required.
    Repeat until full potential is reached.
    In other words the machines don't have to go from zero to 100% in one step.
    .
    Now
    A BIGGER problem would be issues with the tab folding process.
    THAT could really slow development.

    • @rogerstarkey5390
      @rogerstarkey5390 Год назад +1

      I try to think in terms of "cost of kWh (GWh/TWh) leaving *the factory*
      The form factor of the cell and cell chemistry is only part of the equation.
      .
      Tesla (Maxwell) asked:-
      1) What makes the factory large? How can we remove steps that make it so? (DBE)
      .
      2) What's the "sweet spot" in cell form factor considering speed of *capacity* production, material packaging? NOT cell quantity! (4680)
      .
      3) Can we overcome previously unsolved challenges encountered when attempting to achieve that sweet spot? (Resistive heating/ Tabless)
      .
      As usual, they attempt to and eventually succeed in building an improved *system* rather than a slight modification.
      .
      Panasonic, etc, seem to have gone half way, retaining wet electrode production, not going "full tabless".
      They may achieve good interim results, but the full prize remains a small dry process factory producing higher efficiency high contact, low resistance tabless cells.
      .
      Once the crack the problems and reproduce "the system" it's a licence to print money.

      So your prediction is that Tesla doesn't figure DBE process on their 4680 for few years?
      I would say Tesla is on around 10-15 Gwh annual run rate on their 4680 by the end of this year. If cybertruck has about 150kwh battery Tesla would be able to make 70-100k CT:s from their own 4680 production without even ramping.

    • @omm5960
      @omm5960 Год назад

      @@malax4013 Points taken. In my mind "volume" is 250K CTs/yr and I was also thinking that Model Y AWD would also be at volume, requiring between the two a total of ~55 Gwh/yr of 4680 cells.
      Although Texas' design goal is 100 Gwh/yr, the last update from cleanerwatt ~2 weeks ago based on Q1 earnings call info was that 1 of 4 lines in the Austin battery factory is commissioned and that line isn't running anywhere near 25 Gwh/yr. Best guess for current total Tesla combined run rate of 4680 between Fremont and Austin is ~6 Gwh/yr, so your numbers for end of year seem quite sober, given that Tesla could in theory get there by commissioning the second line.

      Then you can just build more lines that can ramp quite fast. But I don't know how many more problematic things there is figure out before you can really start ramping. I think it's end of this year or maybe first half 2024. Then we can see the real ramp of 4680.

Once they get that sorted out, they'll start installing 46-80 lines as fast as they can get there hands on the equipment.

    Blade batteries are not “structural” in the same way Tesla has defined. Elon has repeatedly spoken out against blade batteries as a form factor appropriate for vehicles. I’m skeptical these are blade batteries for those reasons. Blade batteries can twist. They are simply too long to be structural. Think: honeycomb for a weight-efficient structural design. Blades are the opposite of structural being long and thin.

    I strongly disagree with Teslas success not being tied to their battery ramp: While in the short time they may be able to continue with suppliers, it is not their automotive business that determines unltimate success. As discussed on battery day: For them and their mission to succeed, battery costs have to come down and battery production needs to ramp to whole new levels. Teslas 4680 project was the key innovation for that. If they succeed with this one, they will transform the world and it doesnt even matter if they build 30mio cars themself or other manufacturers build them with Teslas batteries as the whole world will become electric.
    Making a 4680 (with dry electrode and using continious production process) should be much faster and even cheaper than producing the smaller formats and for any given capacitiy you need fewer (of the larger) cells. Placing ~800 cells in a pack is much easier and cheaper than to place ~4000 in a pack... and so on. Also for energy storage the world requires TWhs of capacity which only seems feasible by using a larger format, reducing part count. Reliable and cost effcient energy storage is key for mass adoption of renewables, so also key for solar business.
    However, until now its dissapointing. Ramp is slow, cell performance below expectations and the few vehicles so far equipped with the new cells are neither cheaper nor lighter and have even less range.

    Cybertruck is at least a full year away from any significant ramp and will likely never pass 150k/yr, and definitely not before 2026. So if Tesla this has issues supplying enough 4680 cells for that slow ramp only instead of the Truck, Semi, Berlin + TX Model Y (as well as the upcoming robotaxi), they might be in trouble, overcommitting and all.
    Good idea to diversify tho, Panasonic just announced their 4680 delay and considering Tesla might be working on theirs for over 5 years with few packs per day to show for might lead to significant delay to the next gen vehicle that takes structural and simple made father. I mean the fact that Berlin isn't doing 4680 perhaps just to stockpile pack or ever send back to the US is concerning. They've spent billions on that part of that factory + equipment.
