Sandy Munro of Munro & Associates tore down the Model 3's battery pack. He said that it is extremely well built and years ahead of anyone else in the industry.

That starts at 28:21 into the video. I recommend watching the whole thing (on 2x speed on youtube), lots of new information and insights.

Interestingly, I can't tell how the pack is cooled from the pictures.

  • The battery is balanced +/- 0.2mA between "blocks"
  • "I don't think you're going to get a bad battery cell"
  • The battery pack is potted with some kind of compound
  • "Oh my God, look at this"
  • "I don't know how they put it together"
  • "Look at the power density"
  • "We started finding all this "magic stuff""
  • "This won't be going out any time soon (in reference to the pack)"
  • "Anybody who ignores this car does so at their own peril"
