This begs the question, why use lithium ion when Musk could have chosen Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4)? They can last up to 10,000 cycles, they only take up 15 more space, and they don’t have thermal runaway characteristics (don’t explode and catch fire). They are also WAY WAY WAY more environmentally friendly.
