Jack with a midweek treat. Go straight to ~5:45 to see four of the large cranes in the battery area finally woke up from their long slumber and are lifting metal.

Steven Loveday has been writing articles about "Green" vehicles for at least 10 years. Long before InsideEVs (IEVs), he was writing for "Autoblog Green". His content was crap back then and it's crap now. I have no idea how he stays employed. (Edit - I see that somehow he's Editor in Chief and what appears to be his brother is Director of Communications - so no surprise)For FUDs sake! that Inside EVs summary is absolutely dripping with thinly veiled contempt for Tesla.
I also note the author of that post has another post up today that paints the proposed US EV tax credit change as somehow possibly BAD FOR TESLA. lol.
What a buffoon.
Really lost a lot of respect for InsideEVs now, won't bother visiting that site again.
Please summarize and state the forum thread relevance. Otherwise, it just looks like clickbait. Thanks.
Will be interesting to see who’s side the Biden administration takes on this one.

LFP 4680 batteries a misunderstood game changer ? No idea how reliable Tesla Economist is, compared to, say The LimitingFactor. Definitely plausible, the unknown issue is how close Tesla is from implementing the LFP chemistry in the 4680 cell format. Currently the LFP is produced in battery pouches /prismatic , which clearly are not easy to heat up as the cylindrical 4680 would be.
Knowing from IRIA's presentations the current deployment of Giga Presses for 2021, if the 4680 cells are also ready for production this year, it presages huge 2022 production/ profit increases. Would WS et all still be able to bottle down the SP?
The whole battery tech area is now like a big poker game, where Tesla has the biggest pot going. Hopefully Elon keeps enough time for Tesla, what with the SN developments blasting off all the time.

PRobably from that Neurolink video cause WTF that's some cyberpunk craziness!!#$@$%
Mods, forgive me but I have to post Elon's comments on that mind-blowing video.Holy Neuralink, Batman! Wow, Neuralink's progress is quite amazing.
AJ was actually tolerable ... i think he might actually get it finally ... the 2 tools on Bloomberg were painful to listen to .... everything is relativeHow about a :tldw summary....as I am one who can't watch that clown.
The two tools were excellent I felt. They articulated what naysayers felt pretty well and hit Jonas with hard hitting questions.AJ was actually tolerable ... i think he might actually get it finally ... the 2 tools on Bloomberg were painful to listen to .... everything is relative
"the value of ICE is massively negative"! WoW!Who is this guy and what has he done with the real Adam
He makes a great point about comparing the other EV manufacturers and their ICE divisions that are the thorn in their toxic side and how do they get rid of that part.
Agreed - the video mentioned earlier has more to do with the immediate /possibly surprise effect LFP in 4680's will have on car production in the near (2022) future, but yes, LFP definitely will be big when energy density is not super important - for all trucks /buses doing regular routes with a defined stop area where batteries can be swapped OR recharged (school buses, until they get replaced by multiple self driving vans). From a TSLA investing POV it does feel good putting your assets to good use, even tho the temptation/ lust for mo' trading profits isn't easy to achieve ; )I think LFP is big, in terms of allow rapid growth of all cell constrained parts of the business, particularly:- Energy Storage, Robo-taxis.
For the same reasons in terms of accelerating the mission LFP is big.
Just today I was thinking swappable LFP batteries are a good fit for farm and earth moving equipment.
There are lots of applications when cost and longevity are more important than range and weight.
Nice thought but very hard to enforce as the ‘baseline’ is a moving target. Particularly given Tesla’s unrelenting persistence for refinements and features added to models.I hope there is language in the bill that makes it clear that automakers are not to increase their EV prices once the incentives are in place.
