IT HAPPENED! Elon Musk Reveals Tesla Semi Battery 4680 Serious Problem, Warning Production!
Tesla has long faced an overarching problem of too much demand and too little supply. Right now, as 4680 cell production struggles to keep up with the already strong demand, Tesla Semi may stop deliveries because of battery production restrictions.
Breaking it down by the numbers gives a better picture of the battery cell issue the Tesla Semi could face. Tesla’s 4680 cells each have an energy capacity of 98Wh. For context, 828 cells are needed to make a single Tesla Model Y with an 81.1kWh battery. With this capacity-per-cell spec and the specs that have been published by Tesla about the Tesla Semi, we can estimate the capacity of the truck’s (likely enormous) battery.
The Tesla website states that the Tesla Semi, while fully loaded, will have a max range of 500 miles and use under 2 kWh per mile. Assuming a worst-case scenario where the truck uses exactly 2 kWh per mile for 500 miles, the Tesla Semi would have a battery capacity of 1000 kWh. And even if the Tesla Semi could achieve 1 kWh per mile, the battery would be 500 kWh.
At 1000kWh, or 1 million Wh, this would require 10,204 Tesla 4680 cells or 5102 cells for the 500kWh battery. This enormous number of cells could be used on 12 Tesla Model Y batteries.
It is known that the total order volume of Tesla Semi is currently up to 780 Tesla Semi, even a thousand orders, which brings Tesla about $140 million. To produce 780 Tesla Semi, approximately 7,959,120 battery cells will be required.
