> Tesla doesn't even make battery cells, they buy them from panasonic

What is the Gigafactory doing then? I thought it was all about batteries.



Gigafactory is a factory from Panasonic, plus a contract with Tesla that allows Tesla to put its sticker on it. Panasonic also produces batteries for Tesla models in its Japanese factories.

Musk is brilliant at this kind of marketing. Did you know he actually didn't found either Tesla or SpaceX himself?
