Tesla built the Cybercab's battery pack with room for cheaper LFP cells
Tesla designed the Cybercab’s battery pack with spare space so it can later use cheaper lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, battery engineer Robert Sumpf told Munro Live. The robotaxi now uses Tesla’s 4680 cells. Tesla also said the Cybercab line can build cars faster than it deploys them. Tesla designed the battery pack in its […] This story continues at The Next Web
Tesla designed the Cybercab battery package with scope to incorporate into the future LFP cells, a lower energy density chemistry that could reduce costs. The company has not confirmed what format or chemistry the vehicle displayed equips. Meanwhile, its production line can manufacture robotaxis faster than it can deploy them, and Nevada approved only 10 of the 5,000 vehicles requested to operate in Clark County.
