Afaik Tesla needs their money to ramp up production on cars, so it doesn't seem that strange to assume that Tesla will license said breakthrough tech to Panasonic so they can manufacture it.
- dayaz36 10y agoHow is licensing it going to save them money? They've already bought the technology and the manufacturing facility
- nardi 10y agoIt doesn't save them money in the long run. However, in the short run, it saves them a bunch of money, since they are simply promising to buy panels from Panasonic, and they don't have to pay up front for the machinery, labor, and raw materials to produce them. This is a big deal--many have been wondering where Tesla is going to get all of the cash from, and now they don't need quite so much cash.
