If you consider the entire pack design, LFP can approach the specific
energy of NMC, NCA and other metal oxide batteries. Can't _quite_ get to
the same W-hrs/kg on a pack basis, but may be close. The LFP cells also
tend to have lower internal resistance, so the heat generated during
discharge
This is far more about stationary storage where range is not a concern and
temperature management is far easier to maintain. LFP have always been a
useful option in stationary applications.
I suspect good work has been done to improve the additives in electrolyte
solutions.

Michael,
I have seen LFP cells in a smaller cylindrical form factor with a rated
capacity of 5000mAH, so I suspect that's what Elon is probably working with.

No, they will be a lot better. The ones we got on the open market were
crappy. Tesla can't afford crappy batteries that can't
take even moderately high temperatures. They can't have such a low energy
density and low power density. If they are doing LFP it is because they
made significant
Hi folks
Looks like Elon Musk is trying to spin LiFePo4 batteries that we used in our
conversions as the latest technology. I wonder if they’re large format cells
too :-).
