Tesla 3 uses High Strength Steel to reduce battery pack weight

Featured Replies

Found a good read on how Tesla is improving their Tesla 3 battery pack with the use of High Strength Steel in the car to protect a less protected battery pack. Interesting is the floppy battery cover they remove and they reduced weight by building the AC and DC to DC converters into the battery pack making it more efficient and less complex modules located around the auto.

Also interesting read on how Panasonic / Tesla are reducing their Cobalt needs heading towards zero cobalt.
