TESLA MODEL Y WITH 4680 CELLS
Currently, this model is; built in Fremont and China and with 2170 cells only. As stated by the CEO of the automaker & egrave; important because & eacute; would mean that Tesla & egrave; sure you have a sufficient number of new cells by the end of the year when it starts the mass production of the Model Y. Recently, Musk himself had admitted that there were still some problems with the new cells so much so that he hypothesized the start of mass production only within 12-18 months .

If & egrave; really so, & egrave; very likely, however, that the supply of the new batteries may be low at first. This would mean a limited production of vehicles . Moreover, already & agrave; in the past Musk had stated that the construction of cars in the Gigafactory in Texas would only be fully operational during 2022. Obviously, everything must always be taken with due caution because & eacute; several times we have seen that Tesla is not; managed to meet the deadlines set by Elon Musk.
In any case, it is not yet known what changes will bring in terms of autonomy and prices the new cells to Model Y. Possible, that at the beginning the SUV with 4680 cells is proposed as a separate model while waiting for all Gigafactories to switch to using the new batteries. All that remains is to be patient and follow the evolution of the project of the new Texas factory in which it will be; also produced the Cybertruck pickup that will use & agrave; he too the new cells. Factory that will do & agrave; reliance on the new Giga Press of Italian construction that will allow you to print in a single piece the whole rear part of the Model Y body.
