'MFP' Hybrid Battery and New Details "MFP" or "LMFP" refers to a unique hybrid battery used by Tesla, combining Lithium-Ion phosphate (LFP) with manganese and other metals. Recent details from China suggest that Tesla tested M3P batteries in both the Model 3 and upcoming Model Y, filing energy consumption test results with Chinese authorities. The cost per watt will be three percent lower due to its higher energy density compared to current lithium-ion phosphate batteries.
