I think their plan has it costing less than 10k. 1 kwh of cells is ~$100 USD. They will likely use a 60 Kwh pack to hit the 200 mile minimum, or possibly a little bit larger with a 220 mile range.
- mikeash 10y agoThe current best guess is a 55kWh pack in the base Model 3. The Model S 60kWh has a 210 miles range, and the Model 3 will be smaller and should be somewhat more efficient. And yes, there is no way that the Model 3's battery pack will cost anything close to $20,000. That's more like what the Model S's pack cost originally, years ago. The Model 3's entire existence is based on the Gigafactory cutting costs by a decent multiple from that level.
