Was hoping they would be switching over to the new 2170 Battery cells. In order to stream line production and lower costs. Does not make sense to be manufacturing 2 different types. Especially when the new cells found in their Model 3 and Power Walls seem to be superior.
I also understand the new 2170 Battery cells would allow Tesla to increase range of the Model S & X.
It seems like they might be having some issues according to reports. This would explain why we have not see the new battery packs yet.
Tesla’s Problem—Model 3 Batteries: Oppenheimer
'Real Concern' for EV Maker Is Quality of 2170 Battery Cells
Oppenheimer's note works to negate the buzz generated by news of Musk's plans to boost production to 6,000 Model 3s per week by June, driving growth by adding 400 employees per week and starting 24/7 operations.
"The real concern for us ultimately is how many batteries they can make that fit the specs," said Rusch on CNBC. He indicated that Tesla faces quality issues with the 2170 battery cells, which are made specifically for the Model 3 and are not used in its other cars. "We think that is the real bottleneck here," he added. (See also: Excessive Automation at Tesla Was a Mistake: Musk.)
