Tesla's Megafactory is making cells based on the NMC chemistry. It's a little more energy-dense than LFP, but has a lower lifespan, depends on Nickel and Cobalt and so is more expensive than LFP batteries. Also, NMC batteries are much more prone to self-ignition. LFPs are very safe in comparison, although still not as safe as LTO batteries. Tesla started to adopt LFP cells and purchases them from Chinese suppliers.
