Quote from: Hunter2020 on February 07, 2023, 16:54:39Title should have been rewritten to Tesla to make UNsafest EV batteries with billions in annual government subsidies.

Current lithium battery-based vehicles catch fire at a rate only 1/10th that of gasoline vehicles, and a fire spreads much slower to allow more time for passengers to escape. But some people are never satisfied, right?

Happily, the solid-state batteries in pre-production are even less likely to burn even with much higher energy density. Win, win,... win!

After mastering the EV production cost efficiency puzzle and raking in record profits per vehicle as a result, Tesla is best positioned to do the same for EV batteries, claim analysts. Its capital expenditures for manufacturing 4680 cells is apparently up to 70% less than those of the leading Korean or even Chinese battery makers.
