Tesla is a battery company.

  I think you spelled Panasonic wrong.

    I thought they bought the cells from Panasonic, but made their own batteries.

  And there’s the rub. From where are VW going to source their batteries? Having vertical integration rather than having to buy from third parties is a fairly substantial advantage.

    WTF are you talking about? Tesla buys their batteries from a third party.

        Is this a joke? Tesla doesn't make their own cells. They buy them from Panasonic.
