I think it's the other way around. Tesla knew that they need batteries for their cars and that the battery market is highly competitive and volatile. The only way to ensure a reliable supply chain for batteries is to build batteries themselves.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoEither way they'll win - make batteries at cost for their own cars, or sell batteries with profit for other manufacturer's electric cars. They also win in goodwill. And with the supercharger network, which I'm sure they'll open up (if they aren't already) to all electric cars. How much does a charge cost there?
