Any whisper of production bottlenecks at Tesla inevitably recalls the Model 3's troubled launch in 2017 and 2018 , the one that had Musk sleeping in his office. Each jelly-roll cell packs in more active battery material, and less wasted space in metal casing. It shows it's no longer a one-horse race." It all sounds amazing, on paper.

This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Market launch is scheduled to begin in 2017. The company hopes to launch AWC in 2017.
