Elon Musk Announces No More Lithium! Tesla Shifts To SodiumIon Batteries!
Rumors are swirling that during a private meeting, Elon Musk declared: "Tesla is making a shift to sodiumion batteries”. What is the truth about this statement by Elon Musk? Which of Tesla's factories have the potential to produce these new batteries? And importantly, how will they be integrated into Tesla’s upcoming models? These questions and more will be explored in today's video. Stay tuned!
How Are Tesla's Gigafactories Ready to Produce SodiumIon Batteries?
Elon Musk Announces No More Lithium! Tesla Shifts To SodiumIon Batteries!
Currently, Tesla operates six Gigafactories. However, Gigafactory New York focuses on producing solar energy products, such as solar roofs and energy storage systems, rather than electric vehicles. Similarly, the Fremont factory is dedicated to manufacturing the Model S and Model X. This leaves only four other Gigafactories capable of producing vehicles equipped with sodiumion batteries.

The Gigafactory in Nevada, a collaboration with Panasonic, is one of the world's largest lithiumion battery producers. Known for its advanced infrastructure and flexibility, this facility, already earmarked for producing Tesla's 18wheel semitrucks due to a $3.6 billion investment in 2023, can adjust its production lines to accommodate sodiumion batteries, leveraging its current annual output of approximately 35 GWh of battery capacity.
Moving to China, Gigafactory Shanghai is a significant player, producing Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. With a current production capacity exceeding 750,000 vehicles annually and the potential to reach 1 million, the factory has a robust battery production expansion capability. This adaptability allows it to integrate sodiumion battery production, contingent on the new technology's efficacy.
