Battery Day 2

 (cont'd from yesterday's post)

One more technical innovation: Tesla is going to start bonding their batteries right to the chassis. Elon says it's similar to aircraft wings actually being fuel tanks, instead of holding fuel tanks. The result will be increased range and cost reduction. 

All this innovation is going to lead to a compelling $25,000 car that is also fully autonomous," not right away but eventually. That's a game changer.

"[I]f Tesla delivers on these promises, it will be hard to see how other automakers can compete, considering how much of an EV’s cost comes from batteries. They must be very worried indeed how they can produce anything to compare with what Musk presented at Battery Day 2020."
