Tesla’s Senior VP said We are making progress on 4680 cells.

But at this time Elon said we are leveraging supplier cells which is sufficient quantity to ramp Texas and Berlin.

Musk also mentioned We expect to 4680 production exceeds 1000 per week by the end of the year.

Tesla mentioned we have still a few challenges to overcome with 4680 production at Giga Texas.
