At a time where other EV manufacturers are shooting for sub $180kw/h this is indeed one of the most important news of the shareholder meeting. I can see other manufacturers delaying product launches because of this or only producing compliance cars because they have no way of competing with Tesla pricing and have to sell at loss.
Not really the way it works. All companies understand that they work at negative margins until they scale production. Why do you assume that a company order a large quantity of cells from Panasonic would not have similar pricing to Tesla?
What car company would be unable to eat negative margins to achieve a strategic objective in EV? Porsche, Jaguar, BMW, Hundai? Look at their financials.
