After reading Tesla 's super battery 's super battery 's press conference, I really felt it was a slap in the face. Do you remember a prediction I wrote before the press conference? It analyzes various black technologies that may measure the daily phase of super batteries. The result once again proved that Musk 's mouth, a lie, and a black technology that is expected to be basically gone. The theme of the whole audience basically revolves around reducing costs, which makes people extremely disappointing. No wonder Tesla's stock cannot stop falling. What exactly has
Super Battery Day released?
Super Battery Day Actually, Musk has talked about a lot, but the important information is as follows:
1. In the future, Tesla will use a brand new 4680 battery. The size of the new battery is larger than the current battery, with a diameter of 46mm and a height of 80mm. With the support of Wujier technology, the 4680 battery has lower internal resistance, lower heat generation , the energy capacity is increased by 5 times, and the vehicle battery life will also be increased by 16%.
2. Tesla will gradually replace cobalt with high nickel materials in the positive electrode, reducing the cost by 12%.
3. In the future, it will promote the integrated design of the battery pack and front and rear of the car body, making the structure of the electric vehicle more compact and the better combination of the battery and the body. This design can reduce the weight of the car by 10%, while bringing a 14% increase in range and reducing costs by 7%.
4. The new Model S has not been unveiled, but Tesla has released the Model S Plaid, with a battery life of 840km and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h is within 2.1 seconds.
In fact, after watching the entire press conference, Musk mentioned the most is to reduce costs, create cheaper batteries and cheaper cars, and push sales up.
What are the pros and cons of doing this?
It seems that the capital market is not very concerned about reducing costs, which is reflected in the fact that Tesla opened at 4% the next day. From the perspective of me, a media person, Tesla's pursuit of the ultimate cost reduction has its advantages and disadvantages.
From a good point of view: first of all, the higher the sales volume and the lower the cost, the more conducive it will be for Tesla to obtain more capital from the manufacturing industry (this is completely different from the previous capital market), and this will also help Tesla to grow rapidly into a giant car company like traditional car companies. We know that the larger the company, the greater the corresponding social responsibility it will bear, so it will force Tesla to be more cautious in the application of every technological innovation (not conservative, but need to go through more verification), and there may be no other bugs encountered on the early Model S, which will be safer for consumers.
Secondly, Musk also said that with the help of these cost-reducing methods, electric cars will be cheaper in the future, and Tesla will also launch cheaper cars. We guess it is Model 2. This is definitely good news for consumers, because consumers can experience the most advanced three-electric system and the smartest driving assistance at a cheaper price. Why not do it?
What are the disadvantages? Musk wishes everyone would drive electric cars and drive Tesla, so the price must be further reduced, which is actually not good for the Tesla brand. At present, the brand image of Model 3 is generally acceptable. If a car less than 200,000 yuan is launched, Tesla will actually enter the market that competes with Volkswagen and Toyota . This will invisibly bring its brand image to the same level as Toyota and Volkswagen, which will cause it to lose a group of high-end users.
So, this press conference actually disappointed me, the so-called super battery day is not "super" at all. From a technical perspective, there is no BYD blade battery launch conference that is exciting. But from the perspective of consumers, this super battery day is still good, and reducing costs can be closely related to every consumer. Even if you don’t buy Tesla, it will force other brands to reduce costs and reduce selling prices, allowing everyone to buy better cars at a lower price... What do you think?
