Cybercab teardown shows Tesla's repairable battery pack and new inverter

Tesla's Cybercab uses 4680 cells in separately potted modules that can be replaced one at a time, unlike the single structural pack in the Model Y, according to a Munro Live teardown guided by Tesla Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy, Not a Tesla App reported. The pack has a steel enclosure, a first for Tesla, and no pyro fuse. Nick Verzani, who leads drive units at Tesla, said the car's new inverter can be dropped into the drive unit of a Model Y, and Tesla plans to begin shipping its circuit board and power stage from Fremont this year. Moravy said the Cybercab is designed for at least half a million miles and is built without a paint shop.
