    Looks like only the S and X still use 18650s. The 3 and Y are using larger 2170 cells and apparently they’re also buying from LG not just Panasonic.

      Some use the larger cells, but not all. They apparently are a bust and don’t offer increased energy density like they had originally claimed.

      The lfp cells come from China, and are now being heavily taxed.
