Advances in Battery and Energy Storage
Energy remains a vital pillar of Tesla’s growth. The company reported record gross margins of 30.5% in its energy division, an astonishing figure considering typical margins in energy storage. This indicates Tesla’s successfully optimizing battery production and sales, particularly with the new Megapack factories.
Tesla has produced 100 million 4680 cells at its Shanghai Gigafactory, which now demonstrates a capacity of 200 Megapacks per week—equivalent to around 40 GWh annually. These energy storage products are increasingly integral to grid stabilization and renewable energy integration.
