... for Model S only
Tesla to keep laptop cells until 3rd-gen car, new Roadster sales pace lagging
Larger format cells are expected to be used in Bluestar. I must say I thought they'd keep the existing technology for longer, maybe it's a Daimler thing. Or possibly the forecast price/performance improvement in 18650s is just not happening
My guess its an ESS cost/complexity issue
Or maybe it's just a way of announcing a delay in the model development timeline :biggrin:
In other news, new Roadster orders seem to be keeping pace with cancellations. :frown:
