Elon Musk: in the business of production of electric batteries there is no real competition

Last Friday, the head of Tesla Elon Musk was interviewed Ronald Baron, at the special conference for investors held in new York. The conversation touched on one of the foundations of business Mask — battery, which the company has a solid investment of $5 billion and intends to build a in Nevada huge "Girafarig". Musk made clear that his confidence in the success of this endeavor is very high and explained why he thinks so.



It turned out that Tesla is closely watching market players, able to engage in the production of electric batteries. On the one hand this is done in order to have a good understanding of the balance of power and technology of its competitors and to classify possible future opponents in a conditional scale from "1" to "5". As said Musk, now in the world there are approximately 60 manufacturers of electric batteries, the results of some of them can be attributed to the long term.

If a competitor Tesla earned a rating of "5" in other words, his technological solution is at a high level, the Mask is ready to build a business with him. If the manufacturer marked a rating of "1", it is complete nonsense and there's nothing to worry about. Elon Musk has admitted that he is now ready for someone to put the "Troika", but it's about "four" or "five" is not and thus it turns out that Tesla beats the competitors on a purely technical level. However, it is possible that there is some kind of secret lab working on electric batteries, which owns high-level technology and unknown to Tesla. However, this situation seems Elon musk is unlikely due to the fact that his company is the dominant market.

In late September, Musk has made several high-profile predictions. He said in 2018 the reserve Tesla will exceed 1000 km, and in 2020 — 1200 km electric car by this time will be completely Autonomous. 9 October of this year, Tesla released a firmware update, which added an autopilot feature, and which immediately began to test the owners of electric cars, often ignoring safety requirements.published
