The team used a new type of Cathode materials called NCM523 which consist of 50% Nickle and 20% Cobalt and 30% Manganese. They choose synthetic Graphite Anode for their battery. The choose blend of lithium salt with other ionic compound as electrolyte.

The Tesla team taking a single large crystals of materials for their battery so as no crack was developed during charged and discharged cycles. Because of that this battery having a very longer life span.
Very soon Tesla was going to make this technology into a reality.
