SMM News: it is reported that Tesla's development in China is incredible. Starting in January 2019, the company turned a piece of muddy land into an operating factory, responsible for the production of Model 3 cars, and the speed at which the plant was built could be described as "record". But Tesla is not satisfied, and the second phase of Shanghai Super Factory 3 is also making rapid progress.

There are media reports that the launch date of the, Model Y is likely to surprise the outside world again. After the completion of the second phase of the Shanghai plant, which began in February 2020, Tesla will immediately produce Model Y at the plant. At present, Tesla is carrying out "mechanical and electrical engineering" and "debugging" work, the former will be completed in October, the latter will be completed in November.

If all goes well, Tesla is likely to start trial production of the Model Y in the next few months, and then start formal production, and the new car is expected to be delivered to consumers in the first quarter of 2021. It was also reported that Tesla was recruiting in China for the trial production of Model Y. In July, Tesla launched a new round of recruitment, recruiting 1000 workers to help expand its capacity. Tesla's positions include production operator, quality inspector, logistics forklift worker and security guard.

Tesla's Chinese official website shows that two domestic Model Y models have been pre-sold. The pre-price of the long-lasting version of Model Y is 488000 yuan, while the pre-price of the high-performance version is 535000 yuan.

Sulfide solid-state batteries are gaining pace in China. FAW and the Eastern Institute of Technology reported a low-pressure operation breakthrough published in a top journal, and Hunan Liuli partnered with Tengyuan Cobalt on a lithium sulfide pilot line. Yahua's Li2S pilot line has entered design with a new gas-solid synthesis process, Tianhua's 99.9%-purity product is at pilot stage, and Guanghua Tech already sells Li2S. Battery-grade Li2S still averages about RMB 2 million/t; the industry targets roughly RMB 200,000/t long term to unlock mass commercialization of all-solid-state batteries.

[SMM Analysis] South Korea's NEV Exports Drop in August, but Cumulative Growth Persists Despite Production Disruptions
Korea’s NEV exports fell sharply in August amid fewer working days and production disruptions, but the YoY decline of 16.4% was milder than the 26.9% drop in total auto exports. Cumulative Jan-Aug NEV exports still rose 21.2%, while BEV exports were relatively resilient. The key focus is whether exports recover as production normalizes from September.

First Atlantic Raises C$6.16 Million to Accelerate Exploration and Development at Pipestone XL Nickel-Cobalt Project
According to First Atlantic Nickel & Cobalt on September 18, the company has completed a non-brokered private placement without warrants, raising approximately C$6.16 million. The proceeds will mainly be used to advance drilling, metallurgical testing, road construction and exploration access at the Pipestone XL nickel-cobalt project in Newfoundland, Canada. The company also plans to accelerate systematic exploration along an approximately 30-kilometre mineralized trend, including priority targets such as RPM and Alloy Max. Pipestone XL is characterized by naturally occurring nickel-iron-cobalt alloy mineralization known as awaruite. Previous testing by the company showed high-grade alloy concentrates averaging around 67.4% nickel, with cobalt grades in some samples reaching up to approximately 1.76%. First Atlantic said this style of mineralization may allow for a relatively simplified processing route with less dependence on conventional smelting, roasting or HPAL. The financing will support further resource validation and technical development, although the project remains at the exploration and process-testing stage.
