I'd somehow missed this news. It's a real shame for me, that performance with the claimed 500+ mile range would have been great.

The Plaid is still launching in the US this week (apparently).

I reckon (based on nothing) that they will use as many of the 4680 cells as possible in the volume cars like the Cybertruck (if it ever actually happens) and the Model 3/Y. Why bother in the S if 390 miles range is "good enough".

Personally I wish they would put them is the S but it looks like a long wait if ever.
