Find the battery behind your Tesla.
Pick a model, production year, variant, factory and market. The finder returns every pack documented for that configuration, says why they can't be told apart, and points you to the documents that settle it.

2 possible packsSources report more than one pack for this exact configuration in the same period. Tesla may have used parallel suppliers, or reports differ. Only the vehicle's own documents can settle it.
Seven families. Four cell formats. Three chemistries.
Each family groups packs built on the same cell lineage. Open one to see every generation, from first pack to latest.
From the original Roadster to the latest 4680 cells.
Every documented pack on one axis. Bars start at first production and fade where production continues; a dashed edge marks an end date no source has pinned down.

Cells made here. Packs assembled there.
Where a cell is manufactured is rarely where it becomes a pack, and that is rarely where the car is built. The map separates the three and draws a connection only where reporting supports it.

Side by side, with the disagreements left in.
Comparisons show every reported value. Where sources conflict, the range is hatched rather than averaged away.
A living reference, versioned in the open.
Initial dataset
- First curated set of Tesla battery packs, from the 2008 Roadster to the 2026 4680 8L.
- Every value carries an evidence level and its sources. Conflicting figures, such as BYD 7C capacity (55 vs 60 kWh) and Panasonic 3 capacity (75, 77.8 and 80.5 kWh), are kept side by side.
- Cell-to-factory supply relationships are added only where reporting supports them. Undisclosed plants are marked as company-level links.
- All sources are queued for direct review. During this compilation they were consulted through search excerpts.
