html, August 5th news, according to foreign media teslarati, at the Tesla shareholders' meeting, Musk introduced the company's future expansion plan. He said that Tesla's goal is to achieve an annual production rate of 2 million vehicles by the end of 2022, and will continue to build factories in the future, with a plan to own 10 to 12 giant factories. At the same time, the 4680 battery will also be mass-produced by the end of 2022, and the Tesla car equipped with this battery will be sold and delivered on a large scale.

Musk responded in response to media questions that the weekly production capacity of 4680 batteries is very good, and the company is confident that it can achieve mass production by the end of the year. Moreover, Tesla's current battery supply is enough to produce 1.5 million cars this year. In addition to the battery production of its own factories, Tesla also obtains enough battery supply from suppliers.
Xiao Lei learned that the Kato Road factory, Tesla's largest battery factory, is already working hard to produce 4680 batteries. At last month's financial report meeting, Tesla executives said that the factory's 4680 battery production increased by 35% month-on-month. In addition to this, not long ago, Panasonic and LG New Energy both said that they are building factories to produce 4680 batteries, and CATL also plans to build a new factory in Mexico , and in the future, they will specialize in manufacturing batteries for Tesla and Ford.

4680 battery supply channels seem to be many, but the current production capacity should be far from expectations, except for , the latest Model Y produced by the Texas factory, which has the opportunity to use 4680 batteries. Several other factories and all other models have not yet obtained battery upgrades. news said that the Berlin factory has currently built the 4680 battery version Model Y, but it is still in the testing stage. It is estimated that there is still a long time before mass production. However, there is no news from the Shanghai factory, and it feels that it is far away.

According to Tesla's official statement, the single energy density of the 4680 battery is five times that of the current 21700 battery, which can increase the overall battery life of the car by 16%. In addition, the battery's performance and power output are also stronger, and the charging speed is greatly improved. Some car owners tested the 4680 battery version Model Y, which can charge from 0 to 97% in 52 minutes, and the time for complete filling is shortened to within one hour.
If Tesla can really achieve mass production of 4680 batteries by the end of the year, customers can mention a new car equipped with 4680 batteries next year. The new car may have longer battery life, faster charging, and stronger market competitiveness. However, with the improvement in performance and battery life, the price may also rise, so everyone should be mentally prepared in advance.
