Is Tesla-Panasonic more than just PV? I don't see how it's related to their EV business, just their Powerwall and Powerpack products.

- Someone 10y agoSorry, I copied from the wrong press release (I guess I got confused about the two meanings of 'cell' somewhere in my search path. It can be either a solar cell or a battery cell). Panasonic plays a large part in both Tesla's solar cell manufacturing and their battery manufacturing. https://electrek.co/2016/11/02/tesla-panasonic-2170-battery-cell-highest-energy-density-cell-world-cheapest-elon-musk/ https://electrek.co/2016/11/02/tesla-panasonic-2170-battery-...: "Tesla’s current custom 18650 battery cells produced by Panasonic are estimated to have an energy density of ~250 Wh/kg"
