Tesla or using Maxwell's technology to develop its own battery

It is understood that the above can pay the debt in three issue ( 16 Su Xie Su Xie 01 dec 16 Su Xie E2, E3) For three years. From the perspective of a golden concord integration to disclose the pledge, and the third phase of bond is expected to expire in September this year, from the current time but 5 months or so.

electric carmaker tesla CEO elon & middot; Musk ( Elon Musk) Hint, or almost have confirmed that the company is using from maxwell ( 麦克斯韦) Buy battery for the development of new technology independent, even into the mining area in the manufacture of these batteries.

the tesla claims to have the world's largest battery factory, it would be easy to let a person think tesla has been in the production of their own batteries, but that is not the case. In Nevada's # 1 super factory ( Gigafactory 1) Although for tesla all, but most of its is occupied by a panasonic, panasonic has battery production line there.

tesla bought from a supplier the Japanese these cells to make the battery module, and other departments in the same factory for assembly. The shareholder meeting, in 2019 tesla musk said, tesla's product promotion is limited by battery production scale at present.

musk said: & other; As we will battery production scale to a very high level, we must further down the supply chain, we might be in the mining industry, at least the possibility. We do our utmost to make sure that we can expand with the fastest speed. ”

tesla through direct agreement with mining companies, more and more involved in the supply chain downstream business. In terms of battery production, musk, said he and other Don't want too much to let the cat out of the bag & throughout; 。

the tesla's chief technology officer of straw bale ( 巴顿施特劳贝尔说) Over a period of time, has always been the leading tesla battery experts, he added: & other; We need a massive battery production solutions. ”

although no musk and straw bale made clear that he will take over the battery production, and no longer dependent on panasonic this supplier, but tesla technology vice President drew & middot; Bagley ( 德鲁Baglino) Added that they hope on this issue & other; Take control of your own destiny & throughout; 。

in addition, musk also briefly mentioned recently from maxwell's battery technology integration: & other; We think it is really very strategic acquisitions. This is a very important technology. It will be for battery production cost and size have a significant impact, at the same time reduce the cost for battery production and capital. ”

however, musk don't want to comment further, and says it will held in tesla plans at the end of the year & other; Investors, battery and power systems & throughout; During the more announcement.

there are analysts believe that tesla into battery production in the field of possibility is very high. Although musk is not flatly said tesla will make their own batteries, but they do too much suggests that almost all confirm this.

in the annual shareholder meeting, musk listed for tesla's two most important things: battery and automatic driving. Tesla has been in the development of automatic driving system from zero, therefore to participate in it is not surprising that another important field.

it will be a significant progress. Tesla is most car manufacturers involved in the manufacture of batteries, but funding development and production of the battery will lead them to a whole new level, the premise is that the technology really as it sounds so good!
