Today, Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter that Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory will be the first to use 4680 batteries, cast car bodies, and a brand new advanced paint shop.
Twitter account @Tesmanian_com released unconfirmed news that a Model Y prototype with the new 4680 battery has been produced at Tesla’s Fremont factory in California and will be shipped to Germany. Musk confirmed in the comments under this post that the first models with the 4680 battery will be produced at the Berlin Gigafactory.
Meanwhile, Musk also stated that with further technological improvements, it may be difficult to estimate production times. All manufacturing goes through an S-shaped curve, and even more so with new technologies. Initially, growth may be slow, but will later show exponential, linear, and logarithmic growth.
