They are indeed called 1865 cells too. The 0 at the end, according to some sources, indicates the cylinder form factor; I couldn't find a definitive reference for this though.
But you will find articles and sources online referring to them as 1865 cells, like Wikipedia.
"An 18650 battery[1] or 1865 cell[2] is a cylindrical lithium-ion battery common in electronic devices"

I imagine Tesla calling their new battery a 4680 (opposed to a 46800) also leads to this usage.
