Tesla is working on new battery that lasts 1 million miles to come out next
year, says Elon Musk
Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the automaker is working on a new battery pack
to come out next year which will last 1 million miles.
Elon Musk 說，Tesla 正在研發明年要推出的下一代電池組，其壽命有一百萬英里。
When talking about the economics of Tesla’s future fleet of robotaxis at the
Tesla Autonomy Event yesterday, Musk emphasized that the vehicles need to be
durable in order for the economics to work:
在昨天的Tesla Autonomy Day 活動中，Musk 談到Tesla 未來的robotaxi，他強調
車輛必須要夠耐用才能發揮經濟效益。
“The cars currently built are all designed for a million miles of operation.
The drive unit is design, tested, and validated for 1 million miles of
operation.”
現在我們建造的車輛都是為了能運行100萬英里而設計的。驅動單元經過設計、
測試、和驗證，可以運行100萬英里。
But the CEO admitted that the battery packs are not built to last 1 million
miles.
Just a week ago, Musk said that they built Model 3 to last as long as a
commercial truck, a million miles, and the battery modules should last
between 300,000 miles and 500,000 miles.
但他也承認，現在的電池組並不是為了能運行百萬英里所製造的。
就在一星期之前，Musk 說Model 3 的電池模組壽命應該介於30 ~ 50萬英里。
At the time, he also said that Tesla plans to provide battery module
replacements.
Now, Musk added that there’s a new Tesla battery pack coming that will last
as long as the rest of the vehicles:
當時，他也說Tesla 計劃提供電池模組更換服務。
現在，Musk 補充說將會有一款新的Tesla 電池組其壽命與車輛的其他部件一樣長。
“The new battery pack that is probably going to production next year is
designed explicitly for 1 million miles of operation.”
可能會在明年開始生產的新電池組是為了能運行一百萬英里而設計的。
The CEO said that they are optimizing every aspect of the cars, including the
tires, in order to achieve minimal maintenance to create an “hyper-efficient
” electric robotaxi.
Musk 表示，他們正在對車輛的各方面進行優化，包括輪胎，將維護需求最小化，
用來創造"超高效"的電動robotaxi。
