### Comment:
You entirely ignored the fact that the battery tech is Panasonic, not Tesla. 
  
 During the factory tour they literally have a line drawn out where ownership of the cell passes from Panasonic to Tesla.

### REPLY:
I ignored it because it's absurd. Tesla decides the specs of the battery, they have the world's best battery research team. They tell Panasonic what to make and they make it. Panasonic is the contract manufacturer. It's like saying Apple doesn't make phones because Fox Conn manufacturers them. Just like Apple, Tesla owns the value in the relationship. That's why Tesla is the one buying Maxwell not Panasonic.
