CR3032 battery.Tesla may use Maxwell technology to manufacture specialized batteries

　　According to foreign media Electrek, Elon Musk has hinted, or almost completely confirmed, that Tesla is using new technology obtained from Maxwell to produce its own batteries, and may even mine minerals to produce them. Battery. Since Tesla claims to have the world's largest battery factory, it would be easy to think that it is already producing its own batteries, but that is not the case. At Gigafactory 1 in Nevada, Tesla owns the factory, but part of the factory is occupied by Panasonic, which owns the battery production line of the factory. Tesla buys these cells from Japanese suppliers, uses them to produce battery modules, and assembles the cells in other parts of the same factory. At Tesla's 2019 shareholder meeting, the CEO emphasized the fact that Tesla's product launches are currently limited by the scale of battery production. "As we scale battery production to very high levels, we have to go further into the supply chain, we may get into mining, at least a little bit, and we do everything we can to make sure we can expand as quickly as possible." Tes La, who is increasingly involved further down the supply chain by striking deals directly with mining companies, said he "didn't want to give away too many secrets" when it came to battery production. Tesla chief technology officer JB Straubel added: "We need large-scale battery production solutions." Drew Baglino, Tesla's vice president of technology, added that although they have not directly stated that they will Taking over battery production rather than relying on suppliers such as Panasonic, but they want to "control their own destiny" on this issue. The CEO also briefly mentioned the integration of battery technology recently acquired from Maxwell: "We think this is really quite strategic, it's a very important technology that will have a significant impact on the cost and scale of battery production — —Both reduces the cost and capital required for large-scale production." However, he did not want to make further comments and said that Tesla plans to hold a "battery and powertrain investment round" before the end of this year. More news will be announced on Battery and Powertrain Investor Day. Elon Musk didn't directly say Tesla would make its own batteries, but they dropped a lot of hints, and they all but confirmed it. Chief among them is that he lists the two most important things: batteries and fully autonomous driving. Tesla is already building something like this from scratch. This would be a significant development, Tesla is already the most involved automaker in battery production, but if the technology is as good as it sounds, it will take their leadership to a whole new level.
