When speculating about the 4680 keep a few things in mind. The purported power increase is primarily related to the larger volume per cell and this is being done to reduce cost, drop weight, and speed manufacturing. It is very possible Tesla will reduce the battery pack size but manage an equal or slightly higher range. I am expecting maybe 320-340mi range on the new MYP, not 400. I also expect a range increase on the current MYP since the change from 77kw to 82kw pack size did not change the range, so there should be room for a software range or acceleration improvement. Also, it is new technology so who knows how smooth the first iteration will be. Going to be fun to see the changes and Tesla really cannot afford to hold back anymore when it comes to range and acceleration with the Mach E GT and other legitimate competitors. The end result will be a win for the consumer but supply chain constraints are slowing production and increasing prices unfortunately.
