Part 5/12:
Tesla has reportedly encountered difficulties securing these parts from suppliers, which has delayed or slowed the factory ramp-up. These issues are compounded by the fact that the manufacturing of new cutting-edge battery cells, like the 4680, hasn't been fully ramped up—despite the company's capacity for these cells already existing. This suggests Tesla might be choosing not to push production to maximum capacity for 4680 cells, possibly due to supply constraints or strategic considerations regarding cost and supply chain stability.
