- hobs 5y agoPretty sure Elon has promised insanely more powerful batteries multiple times and not delivered.
- shiftpgdn 5y agoI’d like to see a citation for that claim.
- practice9 5y agoI'm not sure Elon ever claimed that. Unless poster is talking about 4680 batteries, which are going to be used in production cars in Q1 or Q2 2022. But those are 20-30% more efficient/cheap compared to the 2170 form factor

- throwawaylinux 5y agoWhat exactly were Musk's claims from Battery Day? That article didn't seem to make it clear.

- throwawaylinux 5y agoFrom the video, the first thing that could be called that promise was talking about the end of 2019 for a couple of years then, which he then scaled back to "quite likely" in 2021. So he promised it for a couple of years and so far he's been off by about 2 years from the first "promise" shown in that video. Talking about how 90% of highway miles could be done with driver assist is not a promise and it's not self-driving. Not sure why dishonesty is required to attack Musk, there's plenty of material available.
- sliken 5y agoI'm aware of promises of improvements related to the 2170 cells, which were delivered first in model 3 allowing lower prices and range of 300+ miles. Then a rev to the model S/X allowed for range and performance increases. Before the 3 the competition claimed sure the model S is an amazing car, but can Tesla actually produce an under $50k car to reach the wider luxury market. There's a pending 4680 improvements widely expect to ship in the Texas gigafactory model Y this quarter, time will tell. I believe this is generally on the announced schedule. Am I missing something? Tesla batteries seem to be delivering on promises and experts in the area seem impressed with the Tesla battery reliability, performance, longevity, and kwh/$. Some to the point of calling Tesla a hugely successful battery company that includes various packaging for their batteries in the form of power walls, and model 3/y/x/s.
