Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
Which Chinese company got it working?
Or Korean?
Everything I wrote above was just from memory, so I had to look up the company. Looks like it was LG Energy Solutions:
LG Energy Solution targets 2028 for full rollout of cost-saving dry electrode process
…and…
LG Energy Solution to supply Tesla with electrodes worth billions
Further it looks like Tesla was offering to buy just finished cathode material from LG for now. I’m seeing mixed results whether that deal ever went through, or was later canceled, and even more murky was if that deal was either for immediate delivery of wet produced cathode or the output from the LG ES existing pilot dry cathode line.
I can’t remember.
