Tesla Model 3: Disassembling a 20700 18650 Lithium Battery

A guy dismounts a lithium battery of the new Tesla model 3, if you want to see how is the inside of a lithium battery is the opportunity!

It is no longer exactly type 18650 (and there, miracle, I just noticed that 18 = diameter and 65 = length ... and the zero at the end, bin is for good weather or more "pro" or scramble the tracks lol! ^^) ... the Tesla Model 3 will therefore use a priori 20700 ...

And to see the assembly of the "cells", here are the packs that Tesla makes, the method is a little more "Vikings" !!

Promised by Elon Musk since the launch of the Model 3 in 2016, the 35.000 version of his electric car is still out of the factory. But prices are getting closer. The American manufacturer unveiled Thursday night a more affordable version of his family in the United States and Canada, with a range of about 420 km (against 500 km for the classic model), for a list price of 45.000 dollars.

"While Model 3's production and sales continue to grow rapidly, we have achieved a stable volume of production capacity, which has allowed us to diversify our product offering," said a spokesperson in the night. .

On Twitter, Elon Musk has his cunning side, figuring the price of this new sedan 35.000 dollars. A figure faithful to the promise he made in March 2016, but that is actually an estimate, because the price takes into account federal tax rebates.

End of tax deductions
Elon Musk has touted this new mid-range model, with a "real" cost of ownership of "31.000 dollars after gas savings". He also urged potential customers to hurry up, as the 7.500 purchase tax credit will end on 31 next December, with Tesla exceeding the 200.000 sales threshold.

Tesla has also expanded its offering on the long-range battery, with a "Performance" version of its Model 3. The range is still 500 km, but the electric car has better acceleration capabilities - from 0 to 100 km / h in 3,3 seconds - and a top speed (up to 250 km / h). The catalog price is 54.000 dollars. The US manufacturer promises delivery times between 6 and 10 weeks on the North American continent for its Model 3.

Dare to say that Tesla is still a start-up, which employs 40 000 people and who has never won 1 penny is still strong accounting ... it's really infox!
