In a groundbreaking development, Tesla has reached a significant milestone in its ambitious ramp-up of the 4680 battery cell at Giga Texas, proudly announcing the production of 10 million cells at the plant. This achievement marks a major step forward in Tesla’s mission to revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) industry and overcome the longstanding challenge of cell constraints.

Tesla’s 4680 battery announcement is so popular, it’s going viral on Twitter and in a short time has already been viewed by 1.1 million people.

The journey of Tesla’s 4680 battery cells began in late 2020 when the company unveiled the groundbreaking technology. Initially, production commenced at the Kato Road facility in Northern California, near the Fremont Factory. As vehicle production began, Tesla expanded its 4680 manufacturing efforts at the Gigafactory Texas and incorporated these batteries into their All-Wheel-Drive Model Y.

For over a year, Tesla has been selling Model Y vehicles equipped with the 4680 battery, and the company’s commitment to scaling up this technology has remained unwavering. Initially targeting Q3 2022 to commence large-scale production, Tesla has now demonstrated substantial progress, announcing the completion of 10 million cells in Texas. These 10 million cells are enough to build approximately 12,000 Model Y vehicles, a testament to the potential of the 4680 technology.
