Tesla has alleviated this problem by producing its own batteries at its new giant facility designated to create an enormous amount of lithium ion batteries. This huge production facility will produce enough batteries to meet the demand for up to 1 million Tesla vehicles in 2020.
Tesla’s aim is to produce about 500,000 cars in 2018, and it plans to ramp up production to 1 million vehicles in 2020. The company’s Gigafactory facility will provide it with all the necessary batteries to achieve this goal.
Tesla’s technology is years ahead of the competition. Furthermore, the company’s technology keeps advancing and evolving at a rapid pace, with 2020 models likely to be able to drive for over 700 miles on a single charge.
