I believe there is one issue missed in this presentation. They refer to the "surprise" of which factory your car will come from as being revealed on delivery. Acutally prior to delivery you will be assigned a VIN for your car. The 11th charcter in that VIN identifies the factory "F" or "A" where the vehicle was built.

I believe the plan is to ramp up Texas, then retool Fremont for the new cells and castings. The cant afford to take Fremont off line for major changes until Texas is running at a good clip. Chip shortage might actually help in this instance - Texas can take all or most of the chip slack when Fremont is down. Limiting the impact of taking a factory out of production.
@brianbeasley7270 2 жыл бұрын
I think you are on the right track. I also believe that in the interim that Tesla will distinguish the Texas units from the Fremont units with a different range and price to accomplish whatever transition order balance they need. I don't think people will put up with the chance of getting two radically different cars at the same price. They'll go to another state to order the one they want if they have to. It would just totally piss people off to get a lesser model but pay the same price so I don't think this is a good idea not to distinguish them. Tesla should not put impediments in the way of getting the longer range vehicle with the front and rear castings. Just make a temporary newer version with longer range and higher price and ship the ones from TX to where ever people want them as long as they are willing to pay more. When all the vehicles have both castings and the 4680, then obsolete the interim version.

@@aklnz1234 Yep. That is a reasonable thing to do but there will be a period where they don't have Texas ramped enough to supply the demand for Model Y so both will need to build Model Y for a while. My best guess is that they will create a new version--Ultra Long Range (ULR) which will be the model from Texas and it will be at a premium for a while until they can ramp. Then eventually they will either have Fremont building with front and rear casting and 4680 also or transition it to LFP versions. I don't see any way it isn't going to be an issue during the ramp so hopefully that will be a very fast ramp.

Fremont currently uses all 2170. That's a different *car body* to the 4680 vehicle. The expectation is that 4680 will be for ONLY the performance (+LR?) models? If so, and if the SR uses "conventional" LiFePo4 prismatic cells, I would expect Fremont to produce those cars. (Lots of spare 2179 for powerwalls) The other option? A 4680 LiFePo4 cell. THAT solves all the problems.

I take delivery on a Model Y performance on February 12th coming from Fremont. I was torn between which I was looking forward to (prior to receiving the VIN number that shows where it's made). On the one hand having 4680s would have a lot of benefit as you mentioned in your video, and on the other hand there's something to be said for tried and true. In the end I guess I'm a little disappointed not to get the 4680s, but I'm extremely happy to be getting a Model Y. 🙂

@@EarlBalentine Why would you trade cars every two years? I do not understand that at all. You take a bath when you sell it, and paid a lot more for it new. If you bought a 2-year-old car and then sold it after 2 years that would be better. Seems a lot of Tesla owners do this. Constantly buying a new one and selling the old one, some of that is due to good resale value. But it just seems kind of ridiculous to me. I bought a 9-year-old Toyota 4 years ago for $2k, that had 200,000 miles on it, and I have put another 192,000 miles on it. And the operational costs for me are about $0.08 per mile that's fuel , all maintenance , and tires.

Regarding the 4680 tabless design. I would use the analogy of a train full of passengers. If you open one door at each end of the train to disembark, it's going to create a bottleneck of passengers walking the length of the train. The 4680 is all doors open, short path to the exit. Fast, less energy used getting there.

I have also heard that the Texas-built Model Y will have an air suspension system, which could be a tremendous benefit for my situation, since my driveway has a somewhat steep incline compared to the street, and a Tesla Model 3 scrapes the bottom of the front body panel when entering/exiting the driveway onto the street. A Model Y (with only a driver inside) is very close to scraping the body as well, and would probably do so at a speed any faster than a turtle.

What a great problem to have - do I want the best, or the one that's better than the best? I think the only way they can avoid Osbourning the Fremont vehicles is to put a premium price and label on the TX models with all of the upgrades. They can call them Ludacris, Plaid, or Texas Edition or whatever and charge an extra $10K or something. They'll have to or else they will get a bunch of people who will reject the Fremont ones in favor of a TX one. It will be the most expensive car I have ever bought, by a country mile, but if the stock does okay over the next year or so, I plan to get two M Ys, and then trade in one of them for a CYBRTRK when it comes out.

One likely way to ensure routing your order to Austin will be the color selection. The new paint shop in Austin will be able to offer the three new shades that are not likely to be supported by the primitive paint shop in Fremont. In fact, the cost of upgrading Fremont to match Austin's build capability could be extremely prohibitive. I can't wait to see the new options (and prices) in the configurator around March! BTW -- one other improvement the video missed is the 10% weight reduction Elon mentioned on Battery Day due to the structural battery pack and 4680's reducing the need for additional steel bracing currently required.

Battery Supply - Elon didn’t say they ‘only have enough for Texas’ he just said that batteries won’t be a constraint in 2022. Maybe they have enough. As for the increased power and charging speed, maybe it is just unlocked with software in the future, for free or for a fee.

My guess is that with a shorter range car your going to still need blank battery cells to still meet the structural requirements so for the first cars coming out of Texas they will only have enough cells to match the same specs as the California version. Then as they bring California factory inline then they'll put 100% active cells in the car.

Suggested the blank cells a long time ago. But they don't need a full pack of filled cells at a y point. They'll keep the range within +15% (gained by weight saving) then overcome range anxiety with low resistance faster charging. More cars, similar GWh.

I'd be curious how the new battery pack impact the potential repairability of the battery pack. I wonder how they would repair or replace a cell or group of cells without replacing the whole thing. With the current battery system this is a huge hassle, but a pack of cells can feasibly be replaced. If this is a structural component of the car I would also be worried about having a very fancy paperweight if anything goes wrong out of warranty. It may have been addressed but I haven't seen or read anything about it.

One of the reasons Tesla is using this new pack is because it’s much easier to access/remove from the vehicle. They are also totally changing the way things get installed and install the carpeting and seats on top of the pack before it goes into the car. That way the assemble operators don’t have to work inside the car. They do it on the battery pack and then it gets inserted in the vehicle from the bottom. Also, makes it much easier to service and quicker to drop the pack from underneath.

@@vvattup Actually the Chevrolet Bolt is definitely repairable. And Chevrolet will sell you the parts unlike Tesla. The Tesla packs can also be repaired at least in the Model S. Gruber automotive has some videos on repairs they have done. But in the Model S the battery is sectioned into different parts. You can't replace individual 18650 cells. But you can replace an entire section with a known good one. I don't know about The newer battery packs in Tesla's however. I think I saw on Sandy Monroe's video when he tore down the Tesla Model 3 and why that the battery packs are essentially completely glued together and you cannot separate the individual cells. If you want to see a complete tear down of a Chevrolet Bolt EV Weber Automotive on KZfaq has a great channel that deals with a bunch of different hybrid vehicles, and electrics also. He runs an automotive technical college, he's very detailed about theory of operation and disassembly. The Bolt EV is actually pretty easy to work on. You certainly would need a lift and a hydraulic table to get the battery pack out safely. But that's true on the Tesla as well. Once that battery packs out pretty easy to disassemble and get the components out.

But they will increase the cost of the Texas model because of the new batteries and the casting. Meanwhile they will work to get Texas volume as high as possible and shut down Freemont to change the production to the new design.

Just got my VIN today for my MYP, delivery Feb 19th. Based on the VIN, it's a Freemont build. I will delay or postpone this order, even if it's for 2 or 3 months to try and get the Texas built model. We all know fit and finish is still problematic at the Freemont factory, so the new build in Texas likely can't be that much worse. ! I want the lighter and more rigid car with newer battery design for longevity. Would be nice to see those ventilated seats show up, too!!

Should be faster charge rate and more time charging at the faster rate. Lower internal resistance coupled with a better thermal path should result in some pretty phenomenal charge times.

don't listen to these youtubers. in battery day, they said they are hopeful that they approach the charging rate of the 2170. The 4680 could peak with 250kw while the 2170 cells and Plaid could get the future 350kw charging

@@zodiacfml Below from an inside EVs article. At 85 deg F ambient, calculated charging time from 10% to 80% with the 4680 pack was reduced from 25 minutes to 15 minutes. If you only need a 50% charge, you can be done in 7 minutes. That’s almost as fast as gas.

I think there are two ways to tell which kind of battery pack a Model Y has. 1. You can tell by the car’s VIN whether it was made in Austin or not. 2. You can tell by looking in the car’s manual where the lift points are on the frame. It’s different for 4680 packs.

Great video, and I'm excited by the news of the new Model Y from the Texas factory, but I'm also left wondering how the battery gets replaced? If the battery can be replaced, it seems it would require very specialized heavy duty equipment that would create a very expensive cost on top of the actual price of a new battery pack. Would that cause the car to become a disposable product at the end of battery life? It's a concern that I'd like know more about, before committing to a purchase.
