The Tesla “Biscuit Tin” has arrived. So this is a new cell, produced at Fremont and is central to the battery day announcements and new production process on Battery Day.

The jump is much bigger than from 18650 to 2170 which was a huge innovation and key to Model 3 success.
This will key crucial to future Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck
The #TeslaBiscuitTin is a major component of dropping the cost of cell production to properly below $100/kWh.
The other bits will be anode focus and scale and Maxwell. @Tesla @elonmusk
This will be the expected central cell format produced at Austin #gigafactory from 2022 onwards. And will 100% take less space than than Giga1 in Nevada. Maybe as much as 30% but that’s a guess.
FYI I don’t expect #Teslabiscuittin to catch on but my mum would love it
Ffs #BigBenAsh of @benchmarkmin us now saying it’s a mini #TeslaBakedBeanTin
Will be interesting to get @KurtKelty thoughts, especially after @benchmarkmin #EVFest discussion on how they could have gone bigger on the 2170 in hindsight.
