There seems to be growing acceptance that Tesla is about to ramp up 4680 cell production and 4 new incarnations will evolve. One of them is to an LFP version. Keithgroves Post #: 78334897 on the 19/3/2025 showing BYD's blade LFP battery used SG was a great news to me(at least). So we can make a reasonable assumptions that if Tesla is to put LFP into Semi, Robotaxi and some Cybertruck models, as I have read, "OUR" market only improves.
From Insideev.com "Tesla’s long-awaited dry cathode program appears to be nearing the finish line. We could see the fruits of that in a few months. Tesla has been working on its dry cathode technology for years, even running into development issues. Now, those development efforts appear to be materializing. The Cybertruck equipped with dry cathodes is just a few months away, according to a new report. There's a lot happening at Tesla this year: Robotaxi launch, the potential reveal of the affordable EV, upgrades to the Model S and X and now, the introduction of new battery types."
My wish is that some of the info below and claims for a 20-25% better LFP cell are substantiated to us shareholders. Via producing and publishing battery performance from our inhouse battery pilot facility?? Surely there is news they could share or is it considered and released only to potential buyers & customers ???
