Tesla Model 3 LFP Battery + Sandy Visits the ONE Facility 

I wonder if looking at the designs of the past might help us to innovate even faster in the electric space? When we realize we're not 'inventing' a lot of these innovations, that much of it has been done before.

Actually same here, can't wait for the next time.

I wish that were true. His enthusiasm is still there but his energy level has noticeably declined in the past year. Considering that I'm comparing him to someone older, retired and sedentary, that's not good. I think he and his spouse need to take a REAL vacation ASAP to recover from their move.

Is he??

Even if he's not, Canada is claiming him anyway! Apparently he's a Windsor boy.

@@davidsc4680 ... He said it himself @ 05:28. we Canadians punch above our weight.

EH!

@@jrb_sland5066 Sandy said "born in" he didn't say when he moved, but he grew up in Windsor and went to work as a toolmaker there and later and later as an engineer for Ford. Having since moved to the US, established a business and gained dual citizenship, he's as Canadian as Elon Musk is African. (btw, Mr Musk came via Canada). What you say about punching above one's weight could be applied to many, even most, immigrants to the US. It takes drive to get past the systemic glass barriers. Immigrants are what built the US and their infusion of energy and ideas are what helps keeps us improving. I wish the former President had been more knowledgeable and understood that. Don't get me wrong, I generally find lifelong residents of Canada, to be better "americans" than we folks from the US (even though more than half of the population lives south of the northern extent of the continental US). Having a huge area of 'frontier", a smaller total population than the state of California, and a "super"power federation next door has to have a positive effect on their worldview.

Thanks for watching!

Not to mention LFP easily has a total lifespan of more than double that of Lithium Ion, while being far cheaper.

Also degredation is a huuuge point. Lfp will actually have more range than after X amount of miles Edit: more range than NCA

If love this battery. Full power down to 10% and the performance motor on back :) my solar generator charges everything that is not needed in the house into the battery.

However, the LFP pack reduces vehicle load capacity of Model 3 and Model Y SR+ to a point where you can hardly put 5 people and their luggage inside of them - weightwise. So, Tesla should increase maximum permissible weight to make up for that.

The main issue with LFP is cold weather behaviour, you get a larger drop in performance vs the standard 2170 packs. Now if you live in a hot climate this is not an issue, but it is obviously not true for everyone.

It's funny, but when you look at the COST of an EV back then, you also learn how those 3 women were living a more luxurious life than about 99% of the population. They were definitely one percenters.

That's a pretty cool mod! These days, with the availability of ultra capacitors, those can be used to get around the cold temps to start that big Beemer.

Thank you! Will do!

I like this solution especially for converted vehicles where a larger battery is added. Also LiFePO4 is much safer. Nevertheless, i am interested what the Tesla guys deliver with the 4680 cell. Thats just standard knowledge and can be done by all companies. But, Tesla is capable to get the batteries and produce the cars out of the batteries. The company going into this big quantities. They drive the development etc.

You're welcome!

The FUTURE is in LI- Silicon batteries.

if it werent for oil and legacy auto, EVs would be way more popular than they are now. but they have both done everything in their power to keep EVs from becoming popular, but tesla let the cat out of the bag. we should probably be 30 years into the EV revolution by this point if it werent for legacy auto and oil

@@PeteZam They never allowed battery technology to develop. Ford tried to built affordable and quality EVs with Edison but once the model t came out so much cheaper, it destroyed everything else. Plus care for environment and climate was non existent back then.

@@PeteZam nonsense, the lithium battery was just barely invented in the 90's and had/needs to evolve. Oil helped build the world from mining to agriculture, construction, roads, devices, medical equipments.......

@@neeljavia2965 bullshit, they actually allowed it to work, no one was going to buy a vehicle back in the 90's with 100 or 150 miles of range....

AND they Have no problems when used in a V2G configuration, because they Have the cycles to Do that easily. So charge the car when the Sun shines and usea little Bit in the Night for Your home.

Thanks, will do!

See - Bagdad battery.

Rigid battery pack plus giga casting a home run.

Y with lfp.does not exist

You are welcome!

I was waiting for LFP teardownvever since they Tesla put them in Chinese made Model 3s!

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, ...... Beetlejuice.

Mr Bejabers, I'm Sandy...

Thanks so much!

It would be a whole lot quieter and the atmosphere would be a damn sight cleaner. Would advanced battery technology have spread to industry, ships and commercial aircraft by now? I think so. Maybe there would be no major HICC problem by now. But then we have to factor in wars and the kerosene jet engine would probably have eventually been dominant in that sector, if it had been invented in this alternative timeline. It's a fascinating "What if..?" question though.

Then for the most part of the century we'd be running on coal essentially + have overhead of all the problems / costs of the battery + analog battery management systems + slow charching due to lack of high power inverters

@@pawelmagnowski2014 You're imagining a world where there would have been little or no progress in battery and associated technologies.

Henry Ford, the great planet killer.

For individual transport, sure. But to transport Americans cross country: trains, trolleys and subways would also have to have improved significantly. Which means the conspiracy between GM, Standard Oil and Michelin to buy up and shut down trolleys and replace them with buses also could not have happened.

You bet

The first Porsche was electric.

Wow! 60 kwh sounds good enough, do you know its coming in near future, months?

@@deas1972 Probably 2022 if not already. 60kWh is certainly enough for 90% of people. No need for no cobolt!

@@deas1972 Q4 2021.

@@quansun7633 great news! I had ordered one SR+ with delivery december sales advidor said. Last shipping was from Shanghai to Sweden. They Said that next delivery can be bott from Usa and China. Will Tesla put in 60 kWh in both factorys you think?

@@deas1972 I read a post from tweeter. It shows a map of batteries used for model 3, Y , S and X from 2019 to 2021. It appears the 60kwh LFP battery from CATL will be used in both Fremont and Shanghai from Q4. Hope it is accurate.

Lol.... wrong, it was all about the flexibility and the range that ICE gave to people, the ICE from gasoline to diesel have been used power trains, ships, aircrafts, for mining, agriculture to build the roads, the grid, dams, infrastructures basically the ICE has built the world.

While ice vehicles may have built the world , at the same time they were polluting it to death. The true cost of ownership will be paid for by many generations that will only see them in old movies.

gm and FORD stole the PARENTS for the starter motor from it's INVENTOR who worked for DODGE.

@@markplott4820 Interesting .I ever build a slipring automate for GM at PHILIPS in the 90's here in Belgium.Those sliprings were used for the GM starters. Did you ever saw the movie " flash of genius " ? A real life story about the wiperblade interval inventor.
