Not Exactly Confidence Inspiring: CNBC Reporting

[SageBrush]

A report published by Bloomberg Intelligence in June said factories planned by Chinese companies could have the capacity to produce more than 120 gigawatts an hour by 2021 – enough to supply 1.5 million Tesla Model S vehicles.

And a German consortium of companies led by Frankfurt-based start-up TerraE Holding GmbH is preparing to set up its own 34-watt-hour lithium-ion battery cell production facilities, touted as Germany's answer to the Gigafactory.

Haha.... sadly, expected.

Great news!
The more competition the better.

1.5 million Teslas per hour capacity, very cool! I would finally be able to move to the good part of town with sales anywhere near that...

I believe this was precisely the purpose of the Master Plan.

That's right up there with a paragraph I read just today (though the article is from July 12):

The Supercharger stations can provide enough electricity to a Model S or Model X Tesla car to drive up to 335 miles. The charging takes just 30 minutes, much faster than a typical electric car charging station.

...from a normally reputable newspaper, the Albany (N.Y.) Times Union

Funny that a bunch of people completely missed your point.

I noticed, but forum regulars are sensitized to criticism and trolling so they expect the worse.

LOL....I didn't even notice. We see what we want to see I guess! 120GW per hour, so we're all set then.

Saw the same thing last week in a Philly article about our Navy Yard business complex installing "one million kilowatts" in the form of 1200 solar panels.

Well in the German's defense, 34 Wh of batteries is enough to build a dozen of what they refer to as plug-in hybrids there.

Compare Side-by-Side

It bad when a Toyota Prius Prime can dust you in All Electric Range. Even a freakin' CT6 Caddy goes 30 miles easy.

Now that is a big panel.
