Lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are quickly gaining steam around the globe, becoming the world's most popular battery chemistry last year. These cheaper, workhorse cells could even make their way into Tesla's Cybercab. The automaker designed the robotaxi from the start to accommodate LFP, Robert Sumpf, the director of mechanical design engineering for Tesla's battery modules and packs told the YouTube channel Munro Live.
During a deep dive into the Cybercab's manufacturing and design, Sumpf pointed out that there's a bunch of empty space within the vehicle's battery pack, both next to the modules and underneath them.
