Tesla Model 3 Battery

Tesla's Model 3 battery represents a significant milestone in electric vehicle technology. These batteries are primarily manufactured at Gigafactory Nevada in the United States through a partnership with Panasonic, and at Gigafactory Shanghai in China to supply the Asian and European markets. The engineering behind these cells focuses on high energy density and thermal stability to support long-range driving and rapid charging capabilities.

While Tesla is an American automotive and energy company, its supply chain is global. The company has pioneered the use of cylindrical 2170 cells, which were specifically designed for the Model 3. Tesla maintains strict control over the chemistry and manufacturing processes, even when collaborating with external cell suppliers like Panasonic, LG Energy Solution, or CATL, ensuring that the final battery packs meet their specific performance and safety standards.
