Now you mention it, this is the rabbit hole I found myself jumping down last night.

In the back of my mind, I'm thinking the exact same thing, using the Hibar acquisition for production.

To be more specific:
Combination of Novonix patented technology (and Tesla/Dahn ofcourse).
Maxwell Dry electrode
Hibar battery production (I believe they have factories in 6 countries).

Tesla battery day to not only unveil that Tesla are going into full scale battery production with the above, but also plugging the green/environmental impacts around associating the DPMG process with their battery production.

Hibar have a factory in Germany... I think we'll find Novonix's second factory, slated for Europe, close to this....

This is all very loose in my mind - it's how I roll. Happy to hear if there's anything that contradicts any of the above
