Objective is now to make Elon 56 billion dollars at the company and its employees

[@cengeb]

Electric vehicle maker Tesla has been hit by round after round after round of layoffs over the past month or so, to the degree that it's somewhat hazy exactly how many employees have been affected. And the cuts keep piling up, with CNBC now obtaining government paperwork through a public records request that shows the company is slashing another 600 jobs at its facilities in California, running the gamut from factory workers to highly qualified engineers. The implication of CNBC's reporting is that the full extent of Tesla's cuts may end up being drastically higher than the 10 percent headcount reduction CEO Elon Musk warned about at the outset of the cullings back in April. As the network points out, Musk claimed in an April earnings call that "inefficiency" at the company was running between 20 and 30 percent, suggesting that the seemingly ongoing sackings could come to total nearly a third of the company's previous workforce of more than 140,000 at the end of last year.

Part of me hopes that Tesla will eventually add a "Long Range" pack for the Cybertruck via the use of a 4695 cell or improved 4680 cell, although the former would be a long shot. A bit more range without sacrificing the bed space is something that would greatly appeal to me.

[@4literv6]

They also need to unlock the v4s and true 800+v ct charging curve as Lars already promised month's ago! When he told top gear the update would allow for 180 miles in 18-20mins or less on an 800+v charger. The nxu CEO already did a test he shared on here with his ct on an in house 800+v charger and got 327kws and 80+miles back in just 8mins! That kind of charging curve opening up would ease imo some of the ct range concerns. Sadly in the US currently only about 4% of public dcfc are 800+v with 250-350kw capability. And few have teslas reliability or pull through trailer friendly spots. 😐

[@AustinFerguson]

They won't go 4695... They do however have two new NMC chemistry and PDO variations in the horizon that will greatly increase the pack and volumetric density.. NMC955 and NMC973 with various % more silicon load in it + Integration of PDO.. these evolutionary steps over the next 2-5 years will increase this range and use of the truck to 450-500 miles. How fast they implement these new chemistry and changes will be dependent on internal testing and future pack iterations.

[@DG-hw8it]

That's not about upscaling production. 🍀

[@christianedelmann6880]

@@AustinFerguson Brother battery engineering is a world of 2-5% percent improvements at mass production scale (lab scale is a very different story!) and expect them to make that improvement when they have fail at DBE cathode and are transitioning to wet is just insane. Adding one additive does not eliminate nickel’s high off gassing potential or silicons crazy expansion ratio (micron silicon helps but you still get like an additional 10%!). Companies cannot afford to pump out untested chemistries because at the end of the day you need to make billions of these things and even 0.01% failure rate is terrifying.

Interesting Munro reports max cell voltage at 4.2 and the max voltage as 806. The Tesla released figure is 816V for the pack, tbus 4.25V for the cell.

[@aware2action]

Just wondering, why not replace the flame retardant foam with a phase change material, that wicks out the heat faster. This would drastically improve thermal runaway(achilles heel of all BEVs, apart from the fact battery pack integrity being number one cause of totalling an otherwise perfect BEV, with minor accident damage) protection. It could also make recovery and recycling of the packs easier. Not sure, if any such material exist with low levels of toxicity from the resulting decomposition by products🤔. Anyways interesting content as always. The Ad portion is rather enjoyable, and adds variety.❤👍

[@CorwinPatrick]

There are food grade Phase Change Materials (Factor uses them). The problem is always tuning PCMs for temperature range and volumetric thermal capacity. Not to mention the extra weight...

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Because the foam is structural?

[@unitrader403]

probably because the foam is also electrical insulation. if two cell cases from diffrent rows touch you have an internal short circuit in the pack.

[@markplott4820]

TESLA BMS is very Efficient , NOT NEEDED.

[@zilfondel]

Its probably an intumescent foam material that acts as a fire/flame barrier. They expand to many times their volume when heated by fire, insulating and impinging the spread of flame any further.

[@_electricvehicle]

Sandy, you should ask Mr. Wiegel why he is moving/expanding into Mexico. The point is, Mexico probably does not force Wiegel to joint venture (and possibly steal their technology via other means - remember Canada's Nortel?) ... and nor does Mexico have "police stations" in the US harassing and coercing Mexican immigrants to return to the motherland; and nor does Mexico put heavy subsidies into their own home-grown EV industry, etc. I have no issue with Wiegel expanding into Mexico and no issue with the USA (and the EU) putting heavy import taxes on certain foreign-made EVs.

Could the extra space be accommodations for a future lfp pack?

There is a thing i have been wondering about. Are the 7p rows of cells alternating with positive side up/negative side up, or how is the serial connection achived? It looks like all the cells have the vent pointing down (up in the upside down pack).

[@unitrader403]

essentially the entire case is the negative side (including the top of the can around the coin), and the coin on top is the positive, and to make a serial connection you make a connection between the case and the coin. this can be done entirely from one side, and the Cells all have the same orientation.

[@peterhelmer396]

@@peterhelmer396 If you look at an 18650 from a laptop or cordless tool, I think you will see what @unitrader403 means. The very center "button" and the perimeter of the cell can be accessed from a single side because the outer layer extends from end to end. Most battery packs will grab the negative off the bottom and the positive off the top, just like the AAAs in your tv remote.

@@motofunk1 Easy to calculate. Whole pack of Cybertruck is about 123,000 Wh made of 1344 cells. So 92 Wh/cell. A cell has 3.63 V nominal (see Excel sheet with assumptions), so about 25 Ah per cell. Finally: please correct the spelling of your units. Not "wH" but "Wh" (watt hours). Not "mAH" but "Ah" (amp hours). Cybertruck has Gen2 4680. Base chemistry is likely the same (NMC-811 cathod, no silicone in anode), but they made improvements on Cybercell to get more active material in: redesigned end caps (more flat), redesigned thinner can, so jelly roll a little higher and a little longer.

If there are 1,344 4680 cells and the pack is ~123 kWh total. That is 91,5 Wh per cell. Given a nominal voltage of 3,63 this gives an amperage of 25,2 Ah per cell. As the Model Y version one (v1) 4680 cells are estimated to be 26 Ah per cell the pack size may well be a bit bigger as I would expect the v2 4680 cells for the Cybertruck are at least as good. Possibly the total pack is around 130 kWh and the usable is ~123 kWh? Maybe Munro will let us know more details on Cybertruck cells? (pretty please). Thanks for this interesting episode and all the good info 🙂

getting a few cells out and measuring their actual characteristics would be interesting..

Sandy, it would be nice for you to get one cell to Jordan.

So what kind of performance would you be expected from the electric truck that Tesla boss Elon Musk said could survive the apocalypse? Probably a pretty serious amount of flex, right? Wrong, it struggled to get up just one notch in the test ramp before its wheels started spinning.

I prefer the safety buffer over more cells into the battery pack.
