4680 on Model Y?

o, Tesla should spend millions developing LFP 4680 so they can get less range? They already have LFP that works and gives less range. And being prismatic, they are already way larger than 4680 so have even more benefits than a 4680 would have.h


Telsa already sell models with less range than others.

Using LFP on the lower range variants reduces cost, compared to the same capacity in L-Ion.

Agreed, Tesla uses LFP on lower-range models because the lower energy density still fits within the pack space, and it's less expensive.

"We're beginning production of Model Y's with the new 4680s and structural pack in Austin, but everybody just please keep buying the ones coming out of Fremont. Those use the existing 2170 pack that we want to stop making as soon as we can. Don't worry about the battery warranty, because you can always trust us to do the right thing by our customers."

No. That is not being said. Not even by the BS blogs.
You're just sowing discord.

Both Fremont and Austin will be producing 4680-based cars at roughly the same time.
The evidence is on the lot at Fremont - thousands of FRONT megacasts stacked up, just waiting for the switch to be pulled.
Further, Tesla wants to make money. How would two different factories making two different models of the same MY enable more profit? Nonsense.
