Only Tesla uses cylindrical cells such as 18650s or 2170s. The other EV makers use prismatic cells or pouch cells.

I'd meant to mention pouch/prismatic cells, thanks. I had been under the impression that some of the big manufacturers had started using cylindrical cells, but I can't seem to find any evidence. Oops!

This is incorrect. Rivian also uses 2170s.
