Summary Reader Response Draft 1

The article ”Everything You Need To Know About Tesla’s New 4680 Battery Cell”, written by (Field, 2020), talks about how the new battery is a game changer. The new improvements and features that Tesla has made to its battery has lead to the Tesla’s 4680 tabless battery. There are many different kinds of battery out there and the 4680 is a specific type of lithium-ion(Li-I) made by Tesla. Li-I battery is a rechargeable battery being widely used in many areas like electronics, electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However the 4680 is made specifically for the use in Tesla’s electric vehicles. The 4680 is a total redesign of the battery compared to its previous model 2170.  According to Williams (2020) the 4680 are being currently used in Tesla models Y and there is a plan to include them in other Tesla models cars replacing previous Tesla batteries like the 2170 and 18650 and even including the Cybertruck. The first improvement that the 4680 has is that it has more efficient ...

Initial Research Pathway with CJ

I did a project during his polytechnic days, where I was working with Lithium batteries. Thus he got interested in doing renewable energy, resulting in us doing a thesis on Lithium Ion batteries.  CJ and Vishan, did a general Google search and found 3 articles and 3 Google Scholar articles on Lithium Ion Batteries. The team also used ChatGPT to get an overview on the company, Tesla about its battery technology.

Formal Introductory Letter

  Dear Professor Brad Blackstone,   My name is Vishanth and I am writing this letter to introduce myself and to share my goals with you. I am currently a first-year student pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. I am also currently taking one of your classes on communication and critical thinking.   The main reason for choosing to become an engineer was because of my curiosity around our daily lives. I always wanted to know how things work and function. This passion that I had is what made me choose a diploma in mechatronics for my studies during polytechnic, as I will learn the fundamentals of mechanical, computer and electrical engineering.   During my studies in Temasek Polytechnic, I was further fuelled to pursue a career in engineering because of my involvement in my major project, where I was given the opportunity to help in the design and assemble of the urban concept vehicle for the Shell Eco Marathon Competition. This project has allowed me to ap...
