Breakthrough in Battery Technology

Tesla's CEO announced at the company's annual "Battery Day" event that the company has developed a new battery cell technology that promises to deliver up to 2x the energy density of current lithium-ion batteries.

The new 4680 battery cells feature a novel dry-electrode manufacturing process that reduces costs by 50% while significantly improving performance. The technology is expected to debut in the Cybertruck later this year.
