On August 21, foreign netizen TroyTeslike tweeted that Tesla will start using lithium iron phosphate batteries from China on Model 3/Y produced in Fremont factory, California from October 1.
In addition, Model Ys produced in the Berlin, Germany and Austin, Texas factories will use 2170 batteries instead of the latest 4680 batteries.
Tesla plans to achieve 10 GWh of battery production capacity by the end of this year, 100 GWh by 2023, and 3,000 GWh by 2030 on the Roadrunner production line next to the Kato battery factory in Fremont, California.
However, during Tesla’s Q2 2021 financial report, it was mentioned that the performance and service life of the 4680 battery has been verified at the Kato factory in California. The production verification is also close to the end, but 10% of the process is still a bottleneck that limits production capacity.
