"...We need to ramp up production, we need to supply powertrain to other car companies..."
This was 2012. Don't know if plans has changed but he called for other companies to make more gigafactories because he said Tesla cannot do this alone. He got laughed at about the gigafactory idea vs other manufactures embracing it. He was throwing some shade about the matter Q3 2018 conference call. Now with his plan on terawatt hrs of batteries, I think it's safe to say Tesla is taking matters into their own hands.

Tesla does not and will not have 100% EV market share.
They were in fact (I think) actually providing powertrains to Mercedes for use in the first generation electric Smart cars and electric Mercedes-Benz B-Class in the not too distant past were they not, when Mercedes was still a stockholder?

Was stuck in a huge traffic jam this morning that stretched for kilometres. When I finally made it to the cause, it was a Dodge Ram in flames on the shoulder. It won’t make the local news, much less international news. I’ve come to truly despise the media.
First, that isn't the Master plan. Second as I recall they already did that with both Toyota and Mercedes, and it didn't really work out. Third, that was back when they thought they could use a supplier for battery cells. (Panasonic/Samsung) And that hasn't worked out well either.
Wholesale to other manufacturers, or retail with *-packs? I agree--EM (and I) want(s) ICE OEMs dead.So you don't think supplying batteries to all car manufactures will not be part of the mission? If Tesla can hit 2TH battery production in 2025 using Maxwell tech for example, you don't think some of these batteries will be sold off to other car companies as they are struggling to ramp production due to cell shortage from LG?
So you don't think supplying batteries to all car manufactures will not be part of the mission?

Re charging infrastructure, it’s more than just where and how many stalls.
Tesla policy is that the supercharger network will never be a profit centre.
I think this is important and should be spelled out more often. It leads to the freedom effect. People buy a Tesla and THEN realise they can go anywhere for a fraction of the cost of an ICE road trip. Suddenly they start going places, just because they can, free of pollution guilt and wallet drain guilt.
Other charging networks exist, but afaik, they aim to sell you kWh for a profit. Why would anybody choose to assist them in that endeavour?
