Tesla Teases Big News On ‘Battery Day’

Tesla chief Elon Musk has promised “insane” battery news at a streamed event after the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday.

Speculation includes that Tesla will announce it has come up with ways to pack more energy into battery cells, slash production cost and dramatically extend battery life.

Musk, however, seemed to tap the brakes a bit on expectations in a tweet Monday, saying announcements will affect long-term production, particularly of Tesla’s Semi, Cybertruck and Roadster models.

Innovations will not reach “serious high-volume production” until the year 2022, according to Musk.

In response to a Teslerati.com story shared on Twitter contending that the battery announcement might be “more insane than expected,” Musk fired off a comment saying, “It will be very insane.”
