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.

Powder coat paints are thinner and more evenly applied than solvent based systems, likely similar to the application of the battery dry application. They may have a mixing problem. They need to use pseudo cavitation mixing.

The slightly lower cost is that way is simply to slow consumption of them to a rate they can keep up with. That's the entire basis of their pricing, it's whatever price they have to set in order to keep their production lines running at capacity. Demand goes up? Raise prices to adjust consumption.

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.

First off, they couldn't make more batteries due to having complications with the supply chain, material availability, and problems associated with producing mass quantities of batteries. He even showed the graph where the production of battery has been going up each quarter or months. There is no point in making a semitruck when the battery isn't available in large quantities. That is just common sense. There is no point of hiring more workers when you are only making a few at a time. The cost associated with making a few vs many is vastly different depending on the number of vehicles produced in the same day, hour, and minute. Shortage of batteries is just one reason. Supply chain was another issue that they had to deal with. Without parts, you can't complete the vehicle in the production line. That is also another common sense.....I am sure there are other problems they had associated with developing a NEW Vehicle......

The various posts here claiming confidence that Tesla can solve all these challenges are just whistling in the dark.
