IT HAPPENED! ELON MUSK LEAKED NEW 4680 TESLA BATTERY FINALLY END OF SOLID STATE BATTERY

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive comparison between Tesla's 4680 battery and emerging solid-state battery technology, particularly from Toyota. While solid-state batteries promise superior energy density (up to 500 Wh/kg, with targets of 600-923 miles range) and faster charging (0-80% in 15 minutes), they face significant hurdles in production cost, manufacturability, and durability due to issues like dendrite formation. Tesla's 4680 battery, currently used in the Cybertruck, offers a substantial improvement over previous lithium-ion cells with higher energy density (300-350 Wh/kg), improved range (16% increase), and faster charging (0-60% in 20 minutes, 10-80% in 30 minutes for Cybertruck). The 4680 also boasts enhanced safety features and is already in mass production, with Tesla aiming for significant cost reductions. The review concludes that while solid-state batteries represent the future, the 4680 is the more practical and advanced option currently available, with Tesla maintaining a lead in production scale and cost-effectiveness for now.
