Will Tesla’s 4680 Cell OVERPOWER BYD’s Blade Battery?

Head over to to skip the wait list and begin investing in fine art through Masterworks today! Tesla is ramping up it’s 4680 battery cell production, but even so the company needs more batteries. While Tesla sources batteries from CATL, it’s possible that they might begin purchasing BYD’s Blade Battery which would drastically improve the efficiency of the China-made Model 3 and Model Y, while reducing cost. BYD’s Blade Battery is a high-performing Lithium Iron Phosphate battery that has good safety properties, low temperature operation, while costing less and storing more energy. The Blade Battery stores 31% more energy than the CATL prismatic batteries that Tesla uses in its MIC Model 3 and Y. That said, Tesla’s speed is a force to be reckoned with as the 4680 battery cell combined with LFP cathode chemistry could bring in a new challenger for BYD’s Blade batteries. Tesla’s 4680 combined with its new anode and cathode processes, structural ba
