Tesla has highlighted an important 4680 battery cell milestone in recent weeks, noting that its Texas manufacturing team for the hardware has scaled production enough to outpace the cost-effectiveness of outside suppliers.<\/p>\n

During Tesla\u2019s first-quarter all-hands-on-deck meeting held a few weeks ago, CEO Elon Musk shared a number of recent milestones. One of them, as was also reiterated after the meeting by Michael Guilfoy, Tesla\u2019s Giga Texas Director of Cell Manufacturing, is the fact that the company\u2019s in-house 4680 battery cells have earned their place as the lowest-cost battery cell produced per kWh.<\/p>\n

Musk also pointed out during the meeting that the achievement is particularly impressive, given that many of the company\u2019s suppliers dedicate all or most of their businesses to battery cell manufacturing, while Tesla focuses on several other business sectors and still managed to surpass the milestone.<\/p>\n

Been waiting to acknowledge this great achievement by Tesla\u2019s 4680 Cell Manufacturing team since the end of last year\u2026.but as Elon announced last night, our Cell Manufacturing team in Texas reached a huge milestone at the end of 2024 with becoming the lowest cost per kWh battery cell producer for Tesla! The grit, determination, and passion of our team is unbelievable in helping deliver our mission.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0thank you to our entire engineering and production teams for making this happen!! It\u2019s the greatest honor of my career to lead this team and make such an impact in our mission to accelerate the world\u2019s transition to sustainable energy.<\/em><\/p>\n

And we aren\u2019t done yet! 2025 will have more big milestones with fully ramped dry battery electrode manufacturing to deliver even more cost efficiency. Exciting teams continue to be ahead. Cheers to this world-class team!<\/em><\/p>\n
