Tesla is the absolute world leader in battery manufacturing. A lot of people are betting on that as well. Tesla has a lot of things going for it if you project what we are going to need in the future. I’m not saying it is a good/bad investment but their entire car business could fade away and they could still be doing mega-business in other “green” business lines.

I don't believe Tesla manufactures their own batteries at this point, electing to source them from other manufacturers like Panasonic. They, I believe, intend to start making their own at some point in the future.

That was Panasonic, and for the China market they switched to the same pouch cells as everyone else.

  False. Tesla has never used pouch celles in the Chinese market.

    Prismatic CATL's right? Closer to a pouch than cylindrical 21700's.

      Any source about Tesla actually using CATL's prismatic? IIRC, there was only rumors.
