True. Please also look at the impact of tabless with vertical cooling, etc. Regardless of chemistry, if I understand correctly. the 4680 tabless has much more usable energy including every specific metric. In each case both charge and discharge can b faster without harm. That is because of far less energy loss to heat. There are countless engineering and physical explanations about why that is true. Thus, regardless of which chemistry might be used, 4680 vehicles will have better Autobahn performance, as well as better performance everywhere. I said nothing at all about high nickel, which on Battery Day was described as limited to a few exceedingly demanding cases such as Semi and some other limited applications.
Cell chemistry will certainly be varied depending on application, just as it is already, but even more dramatically. There is TE as well as vehicles so the variety will enhance critical performance, durability and cost optimization for all applications.
Yeah, the tabless cell integration and vehicle to pack architecture will increase range by 30% alone (according to the Battery Day slides).
So with same chemistry, they should be able to reach 400 miles on Model Y.
Then maybe the SR they could get close to 300.
