[QUOTE="Fat Boss, post: 16483113, member: 122645"] Your ignorance is stunning. Very true. However, one of the first things they teach you in business school is the concept of first to market. Being first to market is often more important than everything else. The fact that they've done that AND innovated and sold a $hit-ton of cars tells me they're going to compete just fine. Years ago they had partnerships to sell batteries to other auto manufacturers. The way ALL the car companies are taking it in the shorts this year tells me they're probably more, not less likely to enter into agreements with Tesla going forward. Why invest billions in R&D and MFG batteries if you're not 100% sure you're going to recoup the investment, when you can source them from Tesla for a lot less in the interim. This. The current problem here in CA with respect to the power generation and grid is not the ability to produce electricity, it's the inability to supply it late in the afternoon and evening in the summer when everyone cranks up their AC and plugs their EV's in. Grid scale battery deployment is coming to a solar/wind power plant near you. [/QUOTE]
