How did you arrive at 20 GWh?Remember, the first phase of the Gigafactory is supposed to deliver around 20 GWh. Tesla is looking at 20 times the capacity than Daimler.
I've adjusted my thinking to that the first phase is something like 10 GWh, and the second phase is something like 30 GWh, because the NMC Tesla Energy cells have around 60% of the energy density of the NCA vehicle cells.
Actually, assuming the following:
- First phase is 14% of the total production capacity, second phase is 23%.
- 150 GWh total production
- 50/50-split between Tesla Energy and vehicle pack production
- NMC has 60% of energy density of NCA
I conclude that Tesla Energy will take up (75/0.6) / ((75/0.6)+75) = 62.5% of the factory. This means the first phase is 14% / 62.5% x 75 GWh = 16.8 GWh. And the second phase will be 23% / 37.5% x 75 GWh = 46 GWh.
I guess I will have to adjust my graphic.
