Absolutely! I’m waiting to upgrade when 2170 or 4680 batteries are available in the S Plaid and the SP exceeds $1000, hopefully concurrently in 2022.With respect, I know they aren’t ready to toss the 18650 but I think it’s clear they soon will use new batteries battery in all new model s and x at end of year. I agree they aren’t going to hold up sales until then, but I sure expect folks with model s and looking to upgrade to wait for the larger bigger battery. So I am saying 18650 meet their demise at end of 2021 or early 2022. And I think the model s sales will spike at that time and not a large amount before that
Elon needs to get on the horn and offer Samsung solar and megapaks in exchange for some next generation FSD chips. Edit: I had another thought about this whole redundancy/resiliency issue. Tesla should develop and sell complete systems for solar-powered, MegaPak-powered closed-loop chilled and purified water cooling using the octovalve technology. Tesla’s own industrial systems surely use chilled and purified water, so making the systems resilient to loss of power and water would be a decent idea. Selling services to other industrial clients would likely sell more solar & MegaPaks.Samsung considering four sites in U.S. for $17 billion chip plant: documents | reuters (2:02am EST)
"Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is considering two sites in Arizona and another site in New York in addition to Austin, Texas, for a new $17 billion chip plant, according to documents filed with Texas state officials."
It's sillly to believe Tesla needs vertical integration at the Fab level to have a secure supply of FSD chips. Neither bad luck nor poor wx respect the name on the outside of the building.
Cheers!
I hope it won’t take that long, but 2023 is two years, so that would meet the definition. Mostly, I just want my next EV to charge at 250KW.Elon said it would be years before the S&X stopped using 18650s...
