Randy Kirk(@RandyWKirk1):Little Know ESTIMATE on 4680 Savings Grok and I spent some serious time one day trying to figure out what the savings would be on 4680's with full vertical vs buying from others. You gain primary production from the lithium refinery, which itself has adopted many money saving methods. You have an inexpensive shipment from the refinery to Giga Texas. At some point in Tesla trucks, and eventually autonomous. Now manufacturing both cathode and anode in house. All materials come together in Austin without paying profits of suppliers. Estimated overall savings of 60%.
