Aren't Tesla batteries made by Panasonic (inside Tesla factories)?

Not the newer 4680s.

Tesla makes 4680 in-house, but without all that fancy dry processed cathodes that promises up to ~20% reduction in cost.

LG should be mass-producing 4680's by now (and dry battery electrode by 2027). Panasonic? Maybe soon, but dunno when.
