With the Battery Day behind us and some of the dust settled I wanted to start a thread on determining some of the characteristics of the new pack for Plaid Model S.
For the calculations I am using the info we have from Tesla.com as well as
Some other notes:
This photo is part of the animation that shows the new "structural pack".
The photo shows 24 cells running the width of the car and 40 cells the length.
This pack shows that the pack has 25 cells running the width of the pack by 44 cells running the length of the pack.
I believe the larger one to be the Plaid battery pack and the smaller one will be the Long Range pack for Model 3/Y lines.
Any additional input would be highly appreciated.
My initial calculations will be in future posts on this thread, and would love to see others input as well.

- Battery Day video

- the battery info sections from Undocumented – TeslaTap
- some calculations done here Tesla Model 3 2170 Energy Density Compared To Bolt, Model S P100D
Some other notes:
- Battery Voltage (cell) is determined by the chemistry, since the chemistry has clearly changed (high-nickel) the cell output voltage is going to be different from the current 2170 and 1865(0) cells. Battery Voltage | PVEducation

- 24 * 40 = 960 cells per pack
This pack shows that the pack has 25 cells running the width of the pack by 44 cells running the length of the pack.
- 25 x 44 = 1100 cells per pack
I believe the larger one to be the Plaid battery pack and the smaller one will be the Long Range pack for Model 3/Y lines.
- The inverter/charger section at the back of the 2 packs is way different
- There are other mounts as well for what looks like center console.
Any additional input would be highly appreciated.
