Two years before mass production, Tesla exposes new battery production line

Tesla demonstrated the 4680 new battery and its battery production line called Roadrunner for the first time. Musk said that in the future, complete electric cars will be produced in the same way as toy cars. It is understood that Tesla’s 4680 battery made its first public appearance on the 'Battery Day' held in September 2020, but it was only in the form of PPT to meet with you.

Through the production of 4680 batteries, Tesla is expected to reduce the cost of existing batteries by half. This battery can increase the energy density of electric vehicles by 5 times, increase power by 6 times, and increase the cruising range by 16%. Musk hopes to finally achieve this by 2030. The goal of increasing battery production by nearly 100 times. It is worth mentioning that Musk also admitted that the production of this new type of battery is still facing a huge risk of uncertainty, whether it is the Fremont factory in the United States or the Shanghai super factory in China, mass production of this new technology is required. The battery may still take about two years.
