Isn't it just a standard Panasonic 18650? And aren't they changing their batteries to a Chinese brand?

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.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

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.
