The world’s largest electric vehicle battery manufacturer CATLRobin Zeng, founder and president of Elon Musk 4680 cylindrical cell technology you will fail he suggested. Zeng stated that he and Tesla CEO Elon Musk had a heated discussion on this issue during their meeting in China in April.“We had a huge argument and I showed it to him. He remained silent. He doesn’t know how to make a battery. It’s about electrochemistry.” he said.

Tesla will fail on 4680 cell, according to CATL

These 4680 batteries, announced in 2020, were introduced as more energy intensive compared to the old 2170 and 1865 types. 4680 cells used in some Tesla models, especially the Cybertruckfive-fold” It needs to have more energy capacity. Tesla produces most of these cells itself. Last September, the company announced that 100 million cell production was completed. But technology cost and production problems It is stated that it has still not reached the desired point due to this reason.

On the other hand, CATL supplies batteries to a wide range of electric vehicles, from Tesla models in China to Ford’s Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning models in the North American market. Differences in battery chemistry lie at the root of the technical issue between both executives. Tesla’s 4680 uses nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) cathodes, while the CATL uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP). The company focuses on lithium iron phosphate Although (LFP) batteries lag behind the cylindrical cells used by Tesla in terms of range, they offer advantages such as safety and durability.

While Zeng acknowledged that Musk is talented in software, hardware and mechanical fields, He found his knowledge about battery technology insufficient. he stated. Zeng, “His bet on the 4680 cylindrical battery will fail and will never succeed” Then he says that Musk also remained silent. Who knows, maybe this is an acceptance of the situation.

Zeng also stated that Musk unnecessarily pushes the timing by making ambitious promises and emphasized that it is a problem that he constantly gives early dates, especially for Full Self-Driving technology. Zeng on this subject “Maybe something needs five years. But he says two years. I definitely asked him why. “He told me he wanted to push people.” he said.
