- village-idiot 8y agoI believe Panasonic makes the cells, but Tesla handles pretty much everything else from battery management to installation.
- stevehawk 8y agoThat's accurate. Panasonic is in each Gigafactory manufacturing the 2170 cells and then hands them off to Tesla.
- village-idiot 8y agoThey collocate? Didn’t know that.
