Great videos and updates on Tesla. Excited to hear of progress in 4680 production yield.

the stockpile of 4680 structural packs isn't really large. it's probably just a buildup for a quarterly, limited production run, of MY-AWD. Note that the MY-AWD is still an employee-only order item, not to the general public. Note also that the stacks of Megacasts outside the Austin casting facility are almost entirely REAR casts; very few Front casts are shown out there (though there ARE several production frames full of Fronts). BTW, Cleanerwatt's background is a greenscreen and the 'kitchen' just a still frame.

I'm hoping Tesla will eventually sell individual cells for other companies to use in things like scooter and ebike battery packs.

So, the stacks could just be they have switched all of Texas to 2170 only MY and the remaining 4680 batteries are built into structural packages and stacked. They are also creating more gigapress parts and stacking them.

Higher priority for use of the 4680 batteries will be given to Tesla semi & Tesla cybertrucks since most Tesla model 3 and Y and various Tesla battery storage solutions can still use the 2170 or other batteries provided by various Tesla battery suppliers. Tesla semi and Tesla cybertrucks will have difficulties using the 2170 or other batteries provided by various Tesla battery suppliers?

Preproduction adverse effect? Other than axial to axial alignment the dominant telescoping is governed by polar differential foil pretension. ie left edge Vs right. Factors? 1) is chemical coating left/right uneven thickness variance. A thicken left moves foil to the left. 2) foil approach with pretension has left/right differential, a higher tension on the left it telescoping to the right. 3) the pretensioning differential was free drifting is a regulation problem. Remedy? Apply an active (closed loop) or reactive (passive) left/right pretensioning balancer/damper, this will compensate for 1) pretension drift and 2) chemical thickness drift If we are using rolling fence to manage telescoping, second this effort and keep it as last resort.

2:03 Stacks of modelY Structural Battery packs. Just a thought. Maybe Tesla is stacking/aging them to be sold in cars produced after Jan 1, 2023 to get the battery cell credit of $35/kwh, and is using the 2170 packs instead. This 4 month delay increases each battery pack value by $35*80kwh = $2800 Let's say that they make 10,000 of them over the next 4 months... That would be an extra $28M in profit. Just a thought.

Additional length coils that add 1/75 more volume would only add 1.33% more power. 2 mm - 2.66%...3 mm 4%. For this to work they need to pack 7.5 mm longer jellyroles in the can.

The global leaders in EV battery technologies are CATL and BYD, both produce plate-type battery cells and package them into battery pack using the Cell-to-Pack (CTP) technology. Compared to 2170 or 4680 kind of cylindrical batteries, CTP batteries have slightly lower energy density in terms of Wh/kg, but have much better thermal conduction and therefore are much less likely to catch fire; in addition, because CTP battery cells can be densely packed together, at the system level, it can achieve higher energy density in terms of Wh/litter. For example, CATL's latest CTP 3.0 battery can achieve 255Wh/kg for ternary battery systems, and with the same chemical system and the same pack size, can deliver 13% more power than 4680 battery. Unlike 4680 still faces technological hurdles in mass production, CTP 3.0 battery is technologically ready and is expected to be mass produced and comes on the market in 2023. Although Elon Musk has been hyping 4680 as some kind of revolutionary battery, the truth is that 4680, just like 2170, is still using cylindrical cell, an inherently inferior architecture compared to CTP batteries.

Is it known what is energy capacity of currently manufactured Structural Pack MY SR from Texas ? I don't mean what Tesla claims, but what is actually measured. Sandy Munro who teared down that pack mentioned he was surprised it's 4680 is much more energy dense than what he was expecting, but was not exact with numbers.

There are many reasons but if you want only one, it would be that lithium cells are far more dangerous. Any sizeable lithium cell is capable of dumping several tens of amps if short-circuited, usually ending up causing a fire or injury. An alkaline AA can produce maybe 2 amps? Less if it's a AAA. If you short circuit those they'll get a little warm and that's about it. That's why 18650 cells are everywhere, but never designed to be user accessible. There are also things like money. Xbox was making a bigger profit on controllers without batteries, now they charge the same amount ($60) but they have to pay for those cells they put in there now. Oh yeah, since rechargeables aren't user accessible, think about longevity. 360 controllers are old as dirt now, but you can still use them like you did 10 years ago with a fresh pair of double AAs, if it had a pack inside it wouldn't work very well or at all by now. Not like anyone keeps devices a decade though, let's be honest. But you get the point.

As long as you have the goal or guiding light or lighthouse to guide you from afar, then all is good, and his stated goal is to accelerate transition to EVs and leave ICE cars behind; so far so good.

30,000 lumen pocket carry flashlights here we coooommmeeee

One thing that people still don't get is the 4680 hollow cyllinger in the Center can be a pressure valve if the cell should go critical it can vent outside the car through the bottom. Structural packs make individual cell replacements impossible and also need us to rethink how recycling works.

Structural pack recycling will be accomplished by grinding down the packs, then using thermal and chemical methods to separate the elements

It would be really nice if there was a way to address bad cells individually.

Well, time will tell. :)

well, batteries are getting to the point where wafers were 8 years ago. Bigger means better. I believe there will be another step bigger, as soon as those will become managable, something like 9285.

Idk why we don't go with big square blocks with that folded material on one side and then if something happens to one you can click it in or out and replace/diagnose then we can adapt the cells and old Tesla comes in with 3 bad cells and gets them replaced with 3 brand new better updated versions ECT.

I have seen a recent video about Tesla creating a new battery, instead of cobalt it uses sulfur. I’ll find the link and attach it. Question is, is it legit?

Personally I like the Japanese EVs where they drive the vehicle into a battery changing station and within 3 or 4 minutes, the battery is lowered from the bottom of the EV and a freshly charged one is installed. It costs $12.00 per month for 6 battery changes. The batteries have a range of over 300 miles per charge. They even have a 500+ mile battery for a little more for the subscription. The vehicles cost about $10K less because, they do not come with a battery installed. I like my gasoline vehicle better than any EV.

Got nothing else better to do besides tinker on a car all day?

I am just confused why anode is said to be the negative side of the battery??? Is the whole presentation as accurate? My education is suggesting ANODE is the POSITIVE side of the battery. I hope I got it right or else my comment is sad :)

Next big breakthrough will be square cell batteries.

Can't wait!!!
