► Tesla Model Y With 4680 Battery & Cybertruck News
Finally, Tesla’s production 4680 battery cells debuted at the Giga Texas Cyber Rodeo event. According to materials posted in the Cyber Rodeo factory tour, Giga Texas is fully equipped to assemble Tesla’s 4680 structural battery pack at full scale.
“Made at Gigafactory Texas, our new tabless 4680 cell lowers the cost per kilowatt-hour. We have everything we need under one roof to produce and assemble the first high-volume structural battery pack, using our fully integrated process,” stated one of Tesla’s infographics in the Cyber Rodeo factory tour.
The production-ready 4680 cells will be used in Tesla’s structural battery pack. Tesla Giga Texas will build the first Tesla Model Y vehicles with a 4680 structural battery. Tesla has already equipped the Model Y Standard Range with a 4680 structural battery pack based on Cyber Rodeo sightings.
Tesla typically starts production with the top-tier variant. In Giga Texas’ case, that would be the Model Y Performance. Tesla already started producing Tesla Model Y 2022 vehicles at its new Austin-based headquarters, but the variant Giga Texas is currently producing remains unknown. The debut of the new Model Y Standard Range with 4680 battery cells suggests that Tesla Gigafactory Texas may be starting production with the vehicle’s base variant instead.
The 4680 structural pack reduces the number of parts used in the battery and the car itself, which is beneficial to manufacturing costs. According to Tesla, the structural battery pack reduces the size of the pack manufacturing line by half compared to the company’s previous factories.
Keep in mind that the 2022 Tesla Model Y also has front mega casts and rear underbody megascasts that reduce the vehicle’s parts even further. Between the Model Y mega casts and the 4680 structural battery pack, Tesla has developed a more efficient production line — which is great for preorder holders waiting on their Model Y vehicles.
► Cybertruck news:
Tesla’s Giga Texas Cyber Rodeo is in full swing, and many people have seen the Cybertruck — as promised by sightings of the all-electric truck before the event kicked off.
While pictures weren’t initially allowed, some guests were able to capture some clear Cybertruck photos nonetheless. Some Cyber Rodeo attendees have shared a few tidbits about the Cybertruck, and one attendee managed to take a quick snapshot of the all-electric Tesla pickup truck as it was being prepared.
According to some Giga Texas Cyber Rodeo attendees, Tesla has introduced some improvements to the Cybertruck. One of the observed changes to the pickup lies in the vehicle’s rear glass, which reportedly drops. The vehicle will have a mid guard as well. The ability to drop the rear glass should help optimize the Cybertruck’s capability to carry cargo.
