[Global Network Technology Comprehensive Report] Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on social platforms on Monday that the new products to be announced at Tesla's "Battery Day" event will not be able to achieve mass production until 2022.
"Especially the production of its electric truck Semi, electric pickup Cybertruck and electric sports car Roadster. However, the products we announced will not reach high production by 2022." He then added that in order to avoid the possible serious battery supply shortage in the future, Tesla will increase rather than reduce the purchase of batteries from partners such as Panasonic, LG, CATL (and there may be other partners as well). And it is not ruled out that Tesla itself will also enter the field of battery manufacturing.
As early as the beginning of this year, Elon Musk emphasized the importance of this event, but it has been delayed until now due to the impact of the epidemic. Previously, the industry had expected Tesla to release a long-life battery, which may not require replacement of the battery pack after traveling hundreds of miles. In addition, it is possible to disclose measures taken to reduce battery costs.
It is reported that Tesla will stream "Battery Day" live on its official website by then, and for Chinese users, Tesla's official Weibo also stated that relevant live broadcasts will also be held at 4:15 am on September 23, 2020 Beijing time.
