I want to bring people's attention to just one quote of the article;
Quote
Tesla has produced more than 20GWh in batteries this year, and it’s on pace to hit that 2020 target two years ahead of schedule, which would account for about 60 percent of the lithium-ion batteries made in the world. The company makes millions of battery cells per day.
Now... let that sink in a moment. 60% of the Li-Ion batteries
in the world.
Now consider this - They're building a second Gigafactory in Buffalo, New York.
They're building a third Gigafactory in China.
They're planning a fourth Gigafactory in Europe.
The Tesla Model 3 was "make or break" for Tesla. Another quarter or two will tell for certain if it's been "made".
But Tesla's future isn't cars.
Tesla's future is batteries, solar cells, and energy systems. And they'll "also sell cars".
