#Samsung will not supply the #batteries for the #Tesla Model 3
Yesterday, a report was published online by Electrek claiming that Tesla Motors recently took delivery of a large quantity of battery cells produced by Samsung SDI.
This resulted in a fluctuation of the stock market as Samsung’s shares
firmly rose, while Panasonic’s faced a decline. Now, however, co-founder
and CEO of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, has taken to his Twitter page to
reveal that the firm hasn’t signed for 120 tons of Samsung SDI 18650
batteries. Instead, the automotive giant has inked a contract to work
exclusively with Panasonic for all for Model 3 cells.
Speaking to The Verge, a Tesla spokesperson revealed that
the company “works with all the leading battery suppliers around the
world, [but] Panasonic has been [its] battery cell supplier throughout
the Model S and Model X programs,” so it makes perfect sense for the car
manufacturer to be “working very closely with Panasonic to ramp up
battery cell production at the Gigafactory for Model 3″ as there’s no
need to alter a partnership that’s proved to be extremely effective in
the past.
