Tesla removed the tabs that are used when making a battery, and hence they are calling these batteries as tab-less Battery, instead. Tesla and its team removed a component that was considered vital in battery making for all these years. Without getting into nitty-gritty technicalities. With the Tesla battery day event, Elon Musk unveiled a new breakthrough manufacturing solution of manufacturing the already existing battery technology i.e., lithium-ion. Meaning he is making the technology more efficient, economical, and safer by eliminating all its flaws that contributed to the ill-fame that lithium-ion has garnered so far. While Lithium-ion is a mature battery solution- he is able to juice out its potential as much as he could. The solid-state battery and graphene battery is something that is most sought after and extremely hyped as a solution for future energy solutions from being used for/in personal communication devices, home appliances to vehicles, and also powering our homes. Elon Musk still sticking with a decade-old standard battery solution does subtly says something. Since the world is becoming very conscious about our environment and turning towards becoming eco and striving to use and live on recycled products and are intending to live on renewable energy, one day.Ī lot of us have already started migrating to this idea of clean energy - therefore seeking out products and product makers such as Tesla, and many others who are striving to create products that run on renewable energy.īut the question is, are we there yet? Is the technology so perfect that we can stop using fossil fuels within the next few years?Īnd why is Tesla still chasing Lithium-ion when it has so many limitations and safety concerns? why not research a new battery technology? Tesla’s 4680 LiOn BatteryĮlon Musk is such an individual who indirectly controls or has the ability to manipulate crypto prices or just about anything now. While researchers are hard at work to find a breakthrough battery composition/technology, we are still a long way off from using them.

Are solid-state batteries not that robust as the hype screams?īatteries - for years now, had only a few breakthroughs and major development taking place in the battery-making process.įor more than a decade - the human race is stuck with Lithium-ion batteries.
