LG Chem batteries in MiC M3s

[Cardo]

With all the latest issues and recalls relating to LG Chem batteries, should we have any concerns in relation to the LG Chem batteries in some of our MiC M3s?

I personally doubt there’ll be an issue, as Tesla use a different form factor battery and therefore hopefully won’t suffer the same manufacturing defects as with the Hyundais, Chevys and all the others appear to be suffering from.

Certainly not heard anything from Tesla, though that’s no surprise!

It would not be my first choice but that is due to it not being as good as the Panasonic alternative on paper. The risk of fire would not worry me. As you say a totally different form factor. its probably unlikely the same "torn anode tab and folded separator " issues would automatically carry across from pouch to cylinder cell.

No concerns. Tesla just boosted up the charging power on their LG battery based vehicles. It’s all about battery temperature management which Tesla seem to master.

GOOD NEWS! - Tesla increased charging speed on LG battery E5D based vehicles!

Indeed. It’s mentioned In the 44.5 update notes on my car.

My car was (and still is right now) running on 2021.40.6 so, I guess it was a “hidden goodies” that Tesla make it public now in 44.5. Or maybe an oven further charging speed increase (I don’t think so)!?
