The nine people, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said Tesla had yet to crack dry-coating at the industrial scale needed to make 4680 batteries fast enough to hit its production targets.
4680 cells having some production issues it seems.
This will turn into “bad batch” lemon versions of the trucks until they figure out a stable way to ramp up production other than screaming “do it faster!” to the employees.
Thanks for the very well researched and detailed article.
“One of the sources with knowledge of the matter, said specifically it was about building data infrastructure around Tesla’s battery development, manufacturing and in-field use because in some cases the flaws were hidden in the coating and did not show up for a few months down the road.”
I wonder if the stainless is also good at containing fire?
“Tesla hasn’t met it’s 2025 production targets in 2023, news at 11!”
