why new tesla 100d battery may be crucial for the tesla model 3 - 18650 lithium ion cells

When Tesla announced last month that it was offering new, larger battery packs for its Model S sedan and Model X crossover utility, the response was not ecstatic.
Faster though, even longer
The commentator said that long-distance electric vehicles are good, shouldn't Tesla stick to knitting?
Specifically, shouldn't it focus all its resources on $35,000, $215?
It says it will launch the mile Model 3 sedan by the end of next year?
Don't miss it: the response to the Tesla 100D version is not as ecstatic: why is that, but assuming, as some have quietly pointed out, that these two things are not opposing?
Assuming, in fact, the battery pack and module structure used in Model S P100D and Model X P100D are actually the results of Model 3 development?
Can these two models become the first Teslas to use battery technology, which will appear in a higher volume in Model 3?
This is the reasoning route suggested by a post on Electrek three weeks ago that says the 100D battery is the test bed for Tesla's third battery
Battery generation-Packaging Technology.
"These changes all come from the architecture of the modules and the packages they fit into, as the statement by Tesla CEO Elon Musk at the conference call of the latest model shows.
"Cells are the same [
Same as the previous version]," Musk said.
Look at: Tesla Model S P100D really, this time it's more than 300 miles ", but the module and package architecture have changed significantly in order to achieve full cooling of the battery in packets with higher energy density, and make sure we don't have the burning reproduction of cells to cells.
The 100D package has the same form factor as all earlier models (
They offer a wide range of capacities of 60, 70, 75, 85, 90 and now 100 kw h).
Tesla continues to use a modified version of standard 18650 lithium
It is an ion battery developed with battery partner Panasonic.
However, the new package provides 11% of the energy capacity, but the weight is only increased by 4%, indicating that some adjustments have taken place in its interior and circuit.
Nevertheless, Musk said that using the current battery in the existing shape of the battery, 100 KW of the time may be the actual limit of the energy capacity.
Tesla is committed to keeping this package in order to upgrade the Model S car with a new battery pack (
Probably profitable)
In the years to come
Look at this: The video of the first driving of the Tesla Model 3: 35 k electric vehicle prototype, but Tesla's CTO stressed the importance of the new battery interior for the Model 3 project, JT Straubel
Model 3, he says, will have new cells (
Gigafactory from Nevada)
And the new module architecture.
This is a considerable change in battery modules and packaging technology.
This is a complete redo of the cooling system, which is very unique for Tesla and we have improved for many years.
This new package is the next version of it.
Tesla Model 3 is considered to use a slightly larger 2170 battery, with a slightly larger height (70 mm vs 65 mm)and diameter (21 mm vs 18 mm)
At the same time, keep the volume of 46%.
Well, the rough math will show that Model 3 can use up to one-
Third, there are fewer batteries with the same energy capacity as the first 18650 format.
