Tesla announced today that the Giga Texas plant has just built its 20 millionth 4680-type cylindrical battery cell: “Just built our 20 millionth 4680 cell at Giga Texas!”<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a very significant milestone, which also reveals the average production rate over the past four months, because on June 16, the company celebrated 10 million cells produced at the site.<\/p>\n

It means that 10 million additional cells were produced in slightly less than four months. That’s almost 17 weeks and an average rate of 2.5+ million cells per month (roughly 600,000 cells per week).<\/p>\n

Tesla\u00a0analyst Troy Teslike<\/em> estimates that the average production rate of 85,470 cells per day (assuming 10,000,000 cells over 117 days) and 89.4 watt-hours of energy per cell (unofficially), is about 7.6 megawatt-hours of energy per day or 53.5 MWh of energy per week (228 MWh per month).<\/p>\n

Now, assuming the expected Tesla Cybertruck’s battery capacity, we can find that there should be enough battery cells for at least several hundred pickups per week:<\/p>\n
