Part 5/14:
Tesla’s progress in full self-driving is further solidified by its leverage of 4680 battery cells, which are expected to power the robotaxis. Tesla’s choice of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for these autonomous vehicles reflects a strategic focus on durability, safety, and rapid charging capabilities. Given that the robotaxis require approximately 200 miles of range, LFP batteries are ideal, and Tesla’s confirmation of using these cells signals a move towards more affordable and scalable autonomous fleet deployment.
