Aren't Tesla batteries made by Panasonic (inside Tesla factories)?



Yep, Tesla uses Panasonic's NCA-90, but Tesla now makes 4680 in-house, but without all that fancy dry processed cathodes that promises up to ~20% reduction in cost.

LG should be mass-producing 4680's by now (and dry battery electrode by 2027). Panasonic is still working on 4680. Maybe soon, but dunno when.


Not the newer 4680s.
