L&F Slashes Value of Tesla Battery-Materials Contract by 99%

The supplier attributed the revision to a change in supply quantity under shifting EV and battery‑market schedules.

Overview

  • L&F disclosed in a regulatory filing that a 2023 supply deal with Tesla was reduced to 9.73 million won from roughly 3.8–3.93 trillion won.
  • The agreement covered high‑nickel cathode deliveries scheduled from January 2024 through December 2025.
  • Reporting by Bloomberg and Reuters links the materials to Tesla’s in‑house 4680 cells used primarily in the Cybertruck.
  • L&F said its flagship NCMA95 shipments to major Korean cell makers remain unaffected; its shares fell after the disclosure.
  • Analysts pointed to weakening EV demand and changes to U.S. subsidy policy as sector‑wide pressures contributing to order reductions.
