Why Tesla 4680 Batteries HAVE NO TABS (Detailed Analysis)

I recently read through a PATENT APPLICATION from Tesla entitled “A CELL WITH A TABLESS ELECTRODE” which details the ONE TECHNOLOGY that makes this 4680-battery possible in the first place. In this video I explore this Tesla patent, revisit previous battery day data and discuss why without this TABLESS DESIGN, the 4680 would not exist in EVs.
