lol Shill LeBeau on CNBC for the 5th time today to rmeind us "Tesla did this organically by building their own factories with their own technology."
Factory 1: refurbished GM plant they got out of bankruptcy...built a bunch of cars in a tent next to it for years
Factory 2: Built and financed by the Chinese govt...used to build Tesla cars with LFP batteries that are shittier range and lower density and produced by chinese firm CATL.
You realize they took out a loan from Chinese backed institutions as part of the deal to build a factory in China and they have already paid the entire loan back from internal cash generated and the company CATL you seem to be putting in a negative light is the largest battery cell manufacturer in the world. Those LFP cells are the cell of choice for most electric vehicles.
They retrofitted Fremont, built Giga Shangahi. Giga Berlin, and Giga Texas. GigaTexas is over a mile long. I think it's fair to say they have built factories but what do I know.
Congrats to Tesla for crossing a 1 trillion market cap. People didnt think eletric vehicles were viable when they started selling the Roadster about 15 years ago.
