It absolutely is not. Almost all Tesla's battery IP rests on Panasonic IP. Panasonic has been a leader in this space for 40+ years.
That's why when Tesla "open-sourced" all their battery patents in 2014 it was seen as mostly a PR move. It didn't really affect the industry because Tesla's IP in this area just isn't that valuable.
