 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 leading to the Tesla’s 4680 tables battery. The 4680 is a specific type of lithium-ion(Li-I) made by Tesla. Li-I battery is a type of rechargeable battery being widely used in many areas like electronics, electric vehicles and energy storage systems. The 4680 is a total redesign of the battery compared to its other models. According to the article the main three improvements of the 4680 is its improved chemistry, thermal characteristics and the redesign of the cathode production. 

The article “4680 Battery: Everything You Need to Know About These New Cells'’ by Williams(2023) discusses how they are being currently used in Tesla models Y and the plan to include them in the 4680 battery in other Tesla models cars replacing other tesla batteries and including the Cybertruck. To summaries the 4680 is the superior battery that Tesla has come up with, making its other models inferior.



Thesis

The Tesla 4680 is a much better improvement to its counterparts in terms of the upgraded thermal feature and the redesign of the cathode manufacturing process.

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...

The Importance Of Communication Skills For Engineers

-
  "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp I have to say my partner and I strongly agree on the quote. This quote is trying to say that to be an effective leader is not only about coming up with ideas and learning new things but most important being able to share their visions and expectations with others. When doing so, it should be able to capture the attention of the person or team and encourage them to act on it. To put it more simply, good communication is like a well oil machine. Without it there is no understanding or clear goal and is doom to failure. Therefore we have agreed that what Mr Gilbert Amelio said ...

The article ”Everything You Need to Know about Tesla’s New 4680 Battery Cell”, written by Field (2020), discusses how the new battery is a game changer. The new improvements and added features that Tesla has made to its battery has led to the Tesla’s 4680 tabless battery. There are many different kinds of battery currently out there in the market 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. The major improvements made to the 4680 are; more efficient battery performance and improved thermal dissipation than the previous models. Another reason why the 4680 is better, because the process of manufacturing the battery has become less complex. The first improvement that the 4680...
