Tesla orders 6 trillion electrodes from LG Energy Solution – In-house battery production.
It was confirmed that Tesla, an American electric vehicle company, ordered electrodes worth 6 trillion won from LG Energy Solutions.
It is presumed that Tesla has begun producing its own batteries, as it requested electrodes processed from raw materials rather than finished battery cells.

Battery packs in current Teslas are mounted in the floor of the cars, but they're not structural parts of the chassis. That could eventually change. At its "Battery Day" event today, Tesla detailed its plans to halve the cost per kilowatt-hour of its batteries. To help achieve that goal, the automaker is rethinking how it builds cars in the future.
esla Inc opened a factory to produce battery manufacturing equipment in the Canadian city of Markham, Ontario, the city said on Friday, as the electric carmaker ramps up the production of cheaper, higher-range 4680 battery cells.
In 2019, the U.S. electric carmaker acquired Canada-based Hibar, which manufactures pumps used in fast-speed battery assembly that Tesla is introducing for its new 4680 cells.
