It seems there’s a way of removing all the putty that seals everything.
So, with an expected ramp-up in production, some people are asking themselves if the new structural battery pack can be repaired in case something goes wrong with it. And it appears that none other thanGallery: Tesla 4680 Batteries– said that the secret to opening up the pack is using a dry ice blaster to remove all the putty that seals all the connectors in place.
However, using this technique, there’s a risk that some of the connectors that are linked to the individual cells might break. Additionally, there’s the issue of the stubborn top plate that seals the whole pack from the elements. After the initial Munro Live teardown, the conclusion was that the whole pack became a reclamation project for recyclers if it were to fail. Now, however, it seems that there are some ways of putting it back into use, but it’s not easy.
As suggested by Sandy Munro, who cites Tesla employees, the cells themselves have a pretty low failure rate at the factory, while the complete packs register an even lower rate, which should provide some peace of mind for owners of vehicles fitted with the structural battery.
