They can't be a battery company, they buy the batteries from Panasonic.
I really love batteries. I might love batteries more than cars.
We are an energy innovation company as much as a car company.
Tesla wasn’t founded to make cars. We have enough cars. We have *too many* cars. Tesla was founded to change the game in energy.
I suspect they are both just big sand boxes for Senior Musk to play in
Please keep playing.
Prelim Apology: I apologize if this has been asked / answered numerous times, already.
Question: Should we expect:
- Name Change: from Tesla Motors to some name that more accurately reflects Tesla Motors' business economies of scope / scale
I won't even broach the SolarCity acquisition speculation.
Thanks
Tesla Energy, Inc.
I think 20 years from now Tesla together with Solar City is going to be more like Duke, Reliant, NRG etc.,. than it will be a simple car company. The corporate structure of that conglomeration remains to be seen.
As for the SolarCity speculation, it has seemed to me for a while that if the branding of the backup battery will be "Tesla" rather than "Solar City," then if Solar City ever builds its solar panel factory, it would kind of make sense to have the panels branded as Tesla panels rather than Solar City brand panels. Putting Solar City brand panels on a house with a Tesla battery backup doesn't jive quite as nicely.
But Tesla and Solar City seem to be on an inevitable parallel track, such that if they are ever to tap into the full potential to be like Duke, Reliant or NRG -- there will probably have to be a merger at some point.

I had the same experience with them.Has anyone had good experience with Solar City? I found them unwilling to work with anything but a composition shingle roof and much higher pricing per kW AC than others.

@stevejust the team definitely has had bigger plans for a long time. Have you ever typed in the URL "teslaenergy dot com"? It will definitely be interesting to see how the conglomerate is arranged many moons from now.
