"and here lies the problem"
If you're just starting out you use off the shelf parts, if you scale up enough it starts being worth it to use custom parts.
I view it as a short term oddity of an immature market, that the best current option is 2nd hand batteries from crashed Teslas.
- rasz 7y agoThere are no off the shelf parts, only off the back of a towing rig if/when someone is unlucky enough to total a Tesla. You can build ~2-5 cars a month business on that, not 10 per day. And that doesnt even touch the realities of retooling for many many used car models they would have to support in order to meet that 4000/year projection.
