Tesla is celebrating the milestone of one million 4680 cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells.
The 4680 cylindrical cells will be used in Tesla’s new EVs in structural battery packs beginning with the Model Y vehicles produced at Giga Texas. The 4680 cell was unveiled in September 2020 at Tesla’s Battery Day event. By unveiling the new cell, Tesla entered into another industry.
Tesla’s milestone of one million 4680 battery cells is a phenomenal achievement for a company that was once expected to fail. Tesla started as an automaker and moved into energy as it kept its focus on its core mission, which is accelerating the world’s transition to sustainability.: sustainable energy generation, energy storage, and sustainable transport.
One key benefit of the 4680 cells is that they cost 10% to 20% less to manufacture, in addition to having higher energy density than the lithium-ion batteries Tesla has been using. Earlier this year, Panasonic announced that it was investing $700 million to expand its battery factory in Wakayama prefecture, Japan, and bringing in new equipment to manufacture the new 4680 cells developed by Tesla.
