Tesla is about to suffer the same fate as Ford
- ecpottinger 9y agoReally? I can buy Power-Walls and Power-Packs from GM? I can get solar tiles from GM? But more important, where is that fast charger network across the continent for the GM cars? It is interesting that at the bottom of this article that says GM is going to take over the electric car market that is a link to another article saying there will not be any big increase in electric car sales.
- shas3 9y agoFunny, you say that. Once upon a time, you could buy satellites, satellite dishes (DirecTV), IT services, and armaments from GM.

- greglindahl 9y agoWell, that's why GM ordered only 30,000 Bolts for the first year of sales, because they expected it to fail.
- namlem 9y agoThis was basically Musk's plan. In the long term, Tesla is going to end up making more money by selling batteries to other car companies than by selling cars.
- arvinjoar 9y agoPanasonic must be very happy about this plan
- sunstone 9y agoThis post is just another in a long line of Tesla click bait posts that contain nothing but wild speculation pulled out of somebody's nether region. Ok "wild speculation" might be too generous.
