[Global Network Technology Comprehensive Report] Tesla CEO Elon Musk has emphasized that achieving major breakthroughs in battery technology is crucial for Tesla to launch more affordable models. However, as Tesla's new deadline for demonstrating the latest progress in battery technology approaches, Musk seems dissatisfied with the speed of the project.


According to previous foreign media reports, in 2020 Musk promised fans and investors that he would launch an electric car priced at only $25,000 and planned to release it in 2023. The core competitiveness of this car lies in its innovative battery, which has achieved breakthroughs in many technologies. However, according to a July 16 report by foreign media The Information, Tesla failed to achieve this goal as scheduled, mainly because of difficulties in perfecting the new battery.

According to people familiar with the matter, in May, Musk asked the R&D team to reduce the cost of 4680 batteries and expand the scale of one of its key innovations by the end of the year. In recent months, he has also asked the team to quickly solve a thorny technical problem, that is, the battery may face collapse during use.

Foreign media pointed out that these measures show that Musk is very concerned about the research and development progress of Tesla's new battery and hopes that the team can make breakthrough progress within the specified time. However, faced with technical challenges and time pressure, Tesla's battery research and development team seems to need to make greater efforts to meet Musk's expectations.
