HOURS AGO! Tesla 4680 Battery Cell Pilot Production Line Hits 70-80% Yield

Citing sources familiar with the matter, Tesla investor and host of YouTube’s Hyperchange channel Galileo Russell recently shared some details suggesting that Tesla may have hit some breakthroughs with the production of the 4680 cells.

According to Russell, the production yield of the 4680 cells has reportedly risen to about 70-80%, up from just about 20% last year. This means that a decreasing portion of the 4680 cells produced today are seeing issues, and Tesla’s pilot battery line at Kato Road is starting to close in on the acceptable yields of factories like Giga Nevada.

"While the delays in the 4680 cells appear to have affected the rollout of products like the Cybertruck and the Semi, it is starting to become evident that Tesla is about to hit some respectable battery output from its pilot line in California," concludes Simon Alvarez of Teslarati. He says thankfully, Tesla has already initiated some contingencies that address the 4680 cells’ delays. The production of the Model Y in Giga Berlin and Giga Texas would be launched with 2170 battery packs, for example, at least until the 4680 cells are available.

Over the past few months, we’ve reported a significant amount of information about comparisons between the 18650, 2170, and 4680 battery cells as well as Tesla battery cell secrets explained by well-known and highly regarded experts in the field of EV technology.

Of especial interest was the evolution of the 4680 battery cell that was expected to be a natural upgrade for models carrying its predecessor 2170 battery cell as explained in these very informative videos providing 4680 updates of Tesla’s next-generation battery cell.

In the meantime, the popularity and interest in Tesla vehicles powered by these battery cells have grown significantly as performance reports demonstrated how well the 4680 battery performed in a multi-vehicle EV race against Tesla competitors; and, an outstanding show of what a modified Model 3 Plaid can do in an uphill race on Pikes Peak.
