Happy to, I responded on Twitter already on that point making clear that legally there is simply no option for an employer to make an employee not change to Tesla nor would that cause any delays for Giga Berlin. Other points from the source Troy mentioned do not add up with my knowledge and sound not credible too. Some others do. My source for instance said 3 weeks ago that the Giga Berlin team does not know yet where the 4680 cells will come from (Kato, Austin, Suppliers?) which is not a surprise. Other very credible information I have the source from Troy does not or didn't inform about.Wow interesting - would be interesting to hear @avoigt ´s take especially on the law suits of legacy auto because of switching employees. Any chance of success? Doesn´t make sense to me, people can chose where they work for themselves, not?!
Rob Maurer pointed his skepticism out in his today podcast and elaborated e.g. on information about CT and MY from Austin. I fully agree to Robs points made.
With regards to the Supercharger opening for German Automakers, the story about the eGolf can't be true despite it won't make any sense for VW to test a vehicle that is not in production anymore. I have no doubts that German Automakers are in talks with Tesla but do not believe them to accept the offer as the terms and conditions have some toxic pills in the legal terms they may not want to comply with. That's in my opinion why the SC network is not used from other automakers. Making say, 2 V2 stalls in a 12 stall SC available for other manufacturers is IMO not a big issue and may help to create even more demand for Tesla.
Long story short, I would not trust Troys source too much and take it with a grain of salt. Some may be right others wrong.
Hope that helps
