This article is irritatingly wrong in the numbers it gives. It says tesla will make 100k cars in the us and 500k in china. Tesla is already producing at the rate of 300k cars in the us, and it's increasing (200k m3, 100k s&x). The US battery factory isn't even at full size. This article says telsa is producing more batteries than all the rest of the world together - [0]. I'm sure the rest of the world can catch up and pass Tesla in battery production - but they have to try. According to info available from recent articles (see above), Tesla does have half battery production at least. There's nothing that stops Tesla from making more factories, or anyone else. They just have to spend the money to get started. The weakest auto company was able to do this (weakest in finances), so other ones can do it too if they want to. They don't want to because auto companies would lose all their expertise in drivetrains if they switch to evs. They are being reluctantly drug into it. see [1]. I do agree with the basic idea that the European automobile companies will get decimated in about 10 years unless they react to this. Also Tesla plans massive new investments in batteries - [2]. (that includes the new China factory but also giga factory #2 and 3). 0 - https://electrek.co/2018/08/02/tesla-gigafactory-1-battery-production-20-gwh/ https://electrek.co/2018/08/02/tesla-gigafactory-1-battery-p.... 1 - https://cleantechnica.com/2018/09/25/tesla-an-uncomfortable-wake-up-call-for-germany-all-hands-on-deck/ https://cleantechnica.com/2018/09/25/tesla-an-uncomfortable-... 2 - https://electrek.co/2018/11/02/tesla-multi-billion-investments-gigafactories/ https://electrek.co/2018/11/02/tesla-multi-billion-investmen...
