There’s also a blog post about it now from Tesmanian. Tesla China does seem to haphazardly leak info more often than USwas it bogus information and they deleted? Link doesn't go to any tweet.
I would be skeptical of their forward looking statements anyways.... social media influencers...
Yes, but you're using facts here. @Remus already decided he hates the idea, so he won't accept any counter-argument until Battery Day (or earlier, if the new battery pack for the Made-in-China Model 3 Standard Range* is introduced soon), when Tesla either doesn't reveal a LiFePO battery, or it does, in which case he will either sell all his TSLA holdings and say buh-bye to us all, or he will fully get behind the move and pretend nothing happened.Higher cycle life
Higher C rates
Safer chemistry
Cheaper materials
There are always a number of parameters to consider.
I hope Tesla is getting some compensation for that.
Wtf they don’t ship to the Netherlands

It is an interesting question because from historical price data you can see the price tanked the day they contacted their bankruptcy lawyer so there were obviously a good number of people that knew the bankruptcy was happening and would have wanted to pump the stock to retail investors so they could dump it. That being said he shared a ton of personal details and I easily figured out what Austin neighborhood he lived in. (I was also living in Austin at the time in a nearby neighborhood.)

I really don't want to get involved into the whole "are LiFePO batteries the right answer for Tesla in China?" because I have reservations either way.So dead ass heavy iron battery, high building cost for prismatic cells are not fact in your mind?
LFP is not the future.
ARK Invest - Wednesday: Autonomous Ridehailing Could Be More Profitable Than We Had Modeled
No doubt about it. No brand would let another use their IP for free. Hot wheels is going to sell these like hotcakes, to people like me who never wanted a fancy RC car until now.I hope Tesla is getting some compensation for that.
Except for my Twizy. I've chosen LiFePO4 for a DIY battery project because of ~ 10 times higher number of cycles compared to LCO / NMC and a low total cost of ownership, very good long-term properties with low maintenance requirements and a high degree of investment protection and functional safety. But I've just started ... maybe I'll report in a few years
There's no question that iron phosphate is cheap. We'll just throw out all issues of manufacturing and focus just on raw materials. The problem is that it has terrible energy density. Halve the energy density and you double the mass of cells you need. Including on the anode end, which has nothing to do with the choice of iron phosphate vs. nickel+Al/Mn oxides. Furthermore, even if you want to pretend that there's no inactive lithium among that, the lower voltage means you need more active lithium per Wh.
Then comes C rates. Let's examine a simplified case without taper. Take a pack that contains 500kg of cells. Halve the energy density of the cells but stay at 500kg worth of cells (e.g. use half as many cells). Double the C rate. How does the rate you can charge, expressed in kWh per minute, change? Answer: it doesn't. It takes twice as long to charge to a full pack, but a full pack is twice as many kWh.
(The above gets worse for the low density / high C-rate cells when you factor in taper, since the low-density pack is doing a 0-100% cycle over a kWh range that the high-density pack is doing a 0-50% cycle)
That said, LFP is passively safer, sure. But so is nickel-iron, but I don't suggest that it's the future of EV chemistries either
(We're of course ignoring all issues of making cars heavier for a given amount of range, when Tesla has been pushing hard on dramatically increasing ranges and having better-than-ICE handling)
LFP is not the future.
