Tesla built the Cybercab’s battery pack with room for cheaper LFP cells
Tesla engineered the Cybercab's battery pack architecture with extra space to allow future integration of cheaper lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells as an alternative to its current 4680 cells. According to battery engineer Robert Sumpf, this forward-looking design choice provides cost flexibility. Tesla also noted that the Cybercab production line can build vehicles faster than current deployment rates.
Key points
- Battery pack designed with room for cheaper LFP cell compatibility
- Currently uses Tesla's 4680 cells
- Production capacity exceeds current deployment pace
