As a useless, retired, old Industrial Design Engineer, I see the problem is the dry binder. It maintains its mass and volume in the mix, thus displacing anode/cathode particles, reducing particle film density and making the film too thick. The solvent based system evaporated and reduced thickness while keeping the desired density. Either solvent base to maximize performance or reduce/replace solid binder with one that requires less volume in the mix, thus increasing particle density and cell performance. Committing to a production technology/technique before having a solution to these issues isn't an efficient process and these things were likely known, or SHOULD have been, prior to the massive commitment of resources toward this method of production. Like a said, I'm an old, useless, retired Industrial Design Engineer and these are simply musings of my observations.

@jimgraham6722 9 месяцев назад

Perhaps, but in my view spirally winding the batteries is the mistake. The cylindrical format is a legacy hanging over from C cells, D cells etc. They were weren't spirally wound they were bulk filled. For EVs the blade cell configuration makes much better sense and only requires 126 cells to make an EV battery pack, vs thousands for comparable cylindrical cells.

There's so much innovation going on in battery tech. It would not surprise me if Tesla went off on a tangent exploring new battery tech and that fact maybe slowing down the building of new production lines. You don't want to ramp up production and build huge factories on a battery tech if you see new tech just around the corner that is going to make your current factories obsolete before they have even finished being built. It's a big tradeoff, you don't want to wait too long because you need batteries now, but you don't want to jump in early on some tech that gets replaced a year later.

Superb content. Really. This is critical analysis of the 4680. The fact is, that the promise of the 2020 battery day, has fallen flat on its face...if you consider the whoopla of the 2020 presentation. Having said that, the advantage is still with Tesla given its regular battery production global scale. Its a real pity that the 4680 is stuck where it is. However, knowing Musk, they will absolutely try everything to solve the problem. For me, the biggest surprise was the range reduction of the car offered by the 4680...capacity and charge rate are what consumers care most about (apart from safety of course).

@billsrelectric 9 месяцев назад

The LOWER range with the 4680 compared to the 2170s hurts, for sure. The bigger issue IMO is the slow pace of making them. TBH I would be okay if Tesla pivots to a different design. It has been 3 years. Other options are starting to emerge.

You didn't actually give any significant new information. Giga Austin has spent most of the last year building a new Cathode plant. Some of the equipment we know has been installed is stuff that not usually found in a Cathode production facility. (The weirdest one I heard of is presses to make tiles) My guess is that the techniques to produce a dry cathode has been solved, and the work lately has been to design mass production equipment to implement those techniques at scale. It's possible their idea won't work, but they certainly *seem* to be confident it will. The first indication that it is solved will be duplicating that plant in Germany and China.

@troublelessone7999 7 месяцев назад

I think Tesla may have overlooked a very fundamental part of the 4680. For example the 4680 is 5.5 times bigger than the 2170 battery and yes; theoretically designed to produce 5x more. But that bigger battery needs 5 times the space, and unless you make a bigger body vehicle, you won't get any more battery range and possibly less because of how the batteries fit into the same space. It's not any more efficient, because the same chemicals are still in use to create the battery. If those batteries were the same size of the 2170, or the 18650 batteries and produced 5 times the power.. that's quite a different story. But fundamentally no change or real improvement. If anything the power density was decreased because you can't put as many batteries in the same space..

@lepidoptera9337 6 месяцев назад

The geometric fill factor is the same, but there is less material being wasted because the case isn't proportionally thicker, which means that overall the battery should produce a slightly higher power density. Not that this has anything to do with anything. The simple fact is that Tesla isn't going to make more batteries than they can sell in their cars, so if they aren't integrating it into more than one model, yet, then there is no point in battery production exceeding the sales of that model. If that model is "overpriced", that means they are actually making more money on it than on the others. It may be true that the customer who buys that model may get shortchanged, but that's not a problem for Tesla. It's a problem for the buyer.

@troublelessone7999 6 месяцев назад

@@lepidoptera9337 agreed.. , because the material inside the battery to make it one.. is no more efficient than what they were already using. Take a look at the range numbers in the models where the 4680 batteries are in play. The range has decreased instead of increased. They stand to increase their profit margin by reducing the number of batteries from their size in the same or smaller space.

@lepidoptera9337 6 месяцев назад

@@troublelessone7999 We shouldn't forget that Tesla also has a habit of restricting range by software. There is a good reason to do that initially: an artificially reduced range stresses the new batteries less, so if long term reliability issues should arise, they will be less severe and impact fewer customers (which avoids generating negative PR for Tesla). One has to wonder if some of that is going on here as well. They will also have to tolerate some serious underutilization of the new battery production line for now because once they decide to put it in one of the updates of the better selling versions, they better have the battery manufacturing capacity available instantly to actually deliver or they will lose sales. So, yeah, a certain amount of production efficiency in the beginning is probably not even avoidable.
