It works well for the Model 3. The standard range version now mostly uses LFP batteries. They have about the same size and weight as the long range batteries.

It works well for the Model 3. The standard range version now mostly uses LFP batteries. They have about the same size and weight as the long range batteries.
And of course, there is constant progress in battery density. The move to 4680 cells supposedly gives 16% more capacity due to the different geometry. That would make LFP batteries competitive for more configurations.
