Evidently, Tesla’s battery tech is from China — just private labeled. I’d wager this is why the US only hears negative commentary about BYD and not CATL & Sunwoda (Tesla’s suppliers).
Certain cells come from China (and other suppliers) of which Tesla is involved in the chemistry, but Tesla makes their own batteries in house, its their technology. Batteries are more than just the cells, its the finished product including the cells.
They also make their own cells for the Cybertruck, some models Ys and the Semi, some of which uses lithium the refined themselves.
“Assembled in USA” type of thing eh?
As if Teslas weren't scary enough.
