Tesla’s 4680 cell ramp speed continues to improve, which will be faster, as they continue to work on more improvements.
If Tesla 4680 battery production triples again over the next 6 months that would be enough batteries for 70,000 Cybertrucks in the second half of 2024.
If Tesla 4680 battery production quadruples over the next 6 months that would be 120 million cells or enough for 100,000 Cybertrucks.

There is a rumor GigaTexas now builds more trucks, than modelys.
“If Tesla 4680 battery production quadruples over the next 6 months that would be 120 million cells or enough for 100,000 Cybertrucks.”
We don’t need those 120 million cells wasted in and applied towards a egotistical toy. We need those batteries used in a more mass produced, cheaper EV. The surmised +122 kWh pack used in the cybertruck could feed almost a quarter million sensible vehicles. Where’s the much promised Model 2 Musk keeps flip flopping on?
Yes, they are making more and getting faster, BUT they need to be making several million batteries a day.
4680 is a failure.
Maybe they can fix it, but production is it way way WAY too slow.
They made 50 million cells a day. Which is a lot more several million. And they should be close to 100 million in about a year. That is not a failure.
According to the article they are making 50 million cells a day. Which is more than the several million you say they need for success. Also in about a year they will be close to 100 million cells a day. So it is not a failure.
622.4 Wh/L and 232.5 Wh/kg . Not that impressive these days.
Neither of those statistics matter. All that matters for autos is cost.
Actually they do considerably. Exceedingly higher energy densities in batteries means less batteries have to be utilized to extract the same performance. Thus a automatic savings in manufacturing costs in regards to materials occurs.
