Tesla Gigafactory,
. . . will produce,
. . . twice as many batteries,
. . . as the rest of the world combined.

Tesla has made,
. . . impressive improvements in manufacturing density,
. . . pncreasing the number of cells that can be churned out of the Gigafactory
. . . without the need for another full factory,
.. .means less money gushing out of Tesla’s coffers to build,
. . . . . . walls,
. . . . . . floors, and
. . . . . . rooftops,
. . . to produce batteries.

Beyond just being an amazing feat, and a great use of capital,
. . . the news speaks to just how far ahead Tesla is,
. . . compared to the rest of the automotive companies in the world (combined).
If a massive company like Toyota,
. . . wanted to produce as many electric vehicles as Tesla,
. . . it would first need to source batteries.
. . . It could go to every other battery company in the world, and
. . . start building its own factories,
but it would still be years behind Tesla,
. . . assuming the rest of the battery capacity in the world were even for sale.
