Tesla's 4680 battery debuted at the opening event of the Texas Gigafactory Cyber Rodeo. According to the various parts released by the "Cyber Rodeo" factory tour, the Texas Gigafactory is fully equipped to assemble the Tesla 4680 structural battery pack.
Tesla wrote on an infographic at the factory: "Our new electrodeless ear 4680 battery was made at the Texas Gigaf, which lowers the cost per kilowatt-hour. Using a fully integrated process, we have everything you need to produce and assemble the first high-capacity structural battery pack. ”
This innovative 4680 battery will be used in Tesla's unique structural battery pack. Tesla's Texas Gigafactory will produce the first Model Y car to use a 4680 structural battery pack. According to the company's plan, Tesla will equip the Model Y standard series with a 4680 structural battery pack.
The 4680 structural battery pack reduces the number of components used in the battery and the car itself, which helps reduce manufacturing costs. According to Tesla, this structural battery pack can reduce the size of the battery pack production line by half compared to the company's previous factory.
At the same time, Tesla Model Y also has a front giant casting and a rear body bottom giant casting, which can further reduce the number of parts in the vehicle, but also reduce production costs. For how to reduce the production cost of the whole vehicle, Tesla is definitely a leader.
