The article says best case is end of the year. The more interesting thing for me is that the factory will need to shut down for several weeks to accommodate the change. I thought Berlin already had the necessary tooling.Has this article been posted? Elon says 4680 in a few months at giga Berlin...

You'll be waiting until well into next year at the earliest. Giga Berlin won't be making MY's with 4680's until sometime in 2023. Just read that they are planning to shut the factory down for a few weeks late this year to convert the production lines to support 4680 production. Given that things always tend to go wrong or get delayed, I suspect it won't be until maybe 2Q23 when they start pushing them out and late 2023 in volume from Berlin. The car is great with the 2170's. We have -zero- reviews of the car with 4680's right now. I think I'd order one now and see what happens.
This was a significant comment when you combine it with his other statement that 4680 supply isn't expected to constrain production for 2022. To me that says there may still be technical hurdles in order to achieve performance targets. If that is the case, we could see 2170 vehicles still put in higher performance/range variants for a while. You don't put a risk mitigation strategy like that in place unless you anticipate significant challenges.
Exactly. And he said if you are waiting to get a Tesla from a specific. Factory you’ll be waiting forever. If you’re waiting for the best Tesla you’ll be waiting forever.
The 2170 non-structural 'backup plan' pack was discussed long ago and even shown at the Giga Berlin Fest and at the Giga Texas Cyber Rodeo.

No, Tesla said they will be capable of doing either battery pack later this year. NOT that they WILL BE doing it.Tesla plans to produce Model Ys with both 4680 and 2170 cells at Gigafactory Texas this year
Tesla plans to use its 4680 and 2170 cells in the Gigafactory Texas Model Y this year, with its structural battery pack appearing in the 4680-equipped cars.
Oh very funny. That ship has sailed. Might see MYP from Austin 2023. That's if they can get the battery's made in real numbers . Would love it if it was even true. Logic says no.
I don't think Tesla is seeing 'performance' issues with the 4680, just production limitations.
