A lot more money to burn? Tell me one thing: these other companies with all this money to burn, where are they going to get batteries? Oh....I forgot, from the overwhelmingly abundant supply that's readily available. Really makes you wonder why Tesla is building the largest battery factory in the world, which they had to start planning and construction for multiple years in advance....it almost leads you to wonder if perhaps there's nowhere else to get them from. It doesn't matter how much money they have. Even Apple can't conjure a battery factory out of thin air. Rest assured money is not slowing down the progress of the gigafactory. It's not as if "if only tesla had more money, they could finish the factory sooner!" They're going as fast as construction allows. At this point, it is no longer a game where more money will help, and most observers don't get that. Elon has said this explicitly time and again, and for some reason people ignore him.
