And now today I read that Tesla is switching all standard-range models to LFP batteries! https://arstechnica.com/cars/2021/10/tesla-made-1-6-billion-in-q3-is-switching-to-lfp-batteries-globally/ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2021/10/tesla-made-1-6-billion-... I think my point still stands about non-Tesla automakers, who seem disinclined to optimize their vehicles for range. Tesla, with better aerodynamics and more efficient drivetrains, are well positioned to use LFP batteries. Combine that with their expertise in building safe, efficient battery packs, and they’ll be even further ahead of everyone else. Living in a relatively cold climate (average January temperature in Boston, MA, USA is 22F [-6C]), I am a bit concerned about the reportedly worse cold performance of the batteries, but presumably they’ll manage that. One of their top markets is Norway after all. Now if only they would just put some damn knobs in the car instead of that giant touchscreen…
