Worth knowing a lot more about Elon and his Companies and their interconnection. Pay attention to those that deep dive, such as Sandy Munro - (Munro Live) who reverse engineers anything and specializes in manufacturing and design optimization in fields from toasters to military, and even the ISS. He states Tesla lies, by omission, they have many secrets and in the battery day presentation the head of the materials science division stated they have many unbelievable materials innovations, so what do these alloys consist of. ? Tesla will be sourcing locally for their Terrafactories, Germany will be operating in 2021 and batteries will be produced in house with their roadrunner production line plus batteries from LG Europe and CATL Europe in the 4680 tabless format, they never announce anything until they have it working. They have been researching batteries and materials sciences for a decade. Patents applicable to the tabless battery date back to at least 2014 . So their Lithium extraction using salt from Clay they will already have an operating pilot plant hidden away somewhere, that saline method could possibly be also used for brine instead of the slow, expensive and weather dependent brine ponds. Tesla will be building more Terrafactories once Berlin and Texas are operating. (Berlin is slated initially for 500,00 per annum with 12,000 employees, yet Tesla has filed notice they expect to reach a need for 40,000 within a few years (2 Million vehicles) to allow infrastructure planning. Worth watching a interview by Galli of Hyperchange with Benchmark Minerals Intelligance Will Tesla Cause A Lithium Shortage? ⚒️ w/ Vivas Kumar
What Tesla does is shaping not only manufacturing but also the essential supply chains worldwide
