In Pictures: Tesla Cybercab battery pack designed for future LFP switch to cut robotaxi costs

Cheaper battery chemistry is central to Tesla's plan to drive down per-mile costs for its robotaxi fleet.

The Cybercab's pack is built for high-mileage fleet duty rather than one-off consumer ownership.

Serviceability was a design priority, with four individually sealed modules replacing a structural pack.

Tesla left spare room in the pack so it can later swap in lithium iron phosphate cells.
