large cylindrical cells and package them into a single module battery pack that also acts as the structural platform on which you install the vehicle\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Elon Musk has touted the technology as a \u201cmanufacturing revolution\u201d in the auto industry.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla has yet to reveal how the new architecture is going to affect the specs of the new version of the Model Y, but the details are expected to come out soon after the EPA and NHTSA get their hands on one for regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\">\n<p
