Don't they need their own battery gigafactory to scale the production?

  If they were willing to move to Reno (and if Tesla was down with it) they could piggyback on the existing Gigafactory here. I'm not sure how much it'd take to adapt the B1 to Tesla/Panasonic batteries, though. As an additional bonus, there are lots of mountains over here, too, and snowy ones at that. Truckee or Tahoe during the winter would make an excellent proving ground for these things, and would additionally be close to a strong potential market for them.

  Why would they? Tesla has no gigafactory either (the actual battery factory and battery IP belongs to panasonic, and they can sell to whomever they wish to)
