I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.

Tesla has partnered with LG Energy Solution (LGES) to manufacture lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries at LGES's Lansing, Michigan facility. This plant, with a capacity of 50 GWh per year, will convert part of its operations to produce LFP batteries for Tesla's energy storage systems, with mass production expected to start in the second half of next year. This move aims to strengthen Tesla's North American supply chain for energy storage, as it transitions from using CATL's batteries. LGES previously acquired the Lansing site from General Motors in May 2025.
