Tesla Secures $4.3B Battery Supply from LG Energy for Megapack Systems
TSLA sits 85% above its 52-week low of $214.25.
Summary
Tesla has confirmed a $4.3 billion contract with LG Energy Solution for the supply of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic battery cells. These American-made batteries, produced at a new facility in Lansing, Michigan, are specifically designated to power Tesla's Megapack 3 energy storage systems.

This significant agreement enhances Tesla's supply chain stability and supports the expansion of its energy storage business, a key growth area for the company. Investors should monitor the production launch in 2027 and its impact on Megapack output.
