And destroy our earth mining for those resources. No thanks.

That’s what $TSLA needs, more capital expenditures.

Or get a contract with $AVZ the worlds largest hard rock deposit😀

Backward integration for tesla’s supply chain in necessary for its survival. We have deposits of lithium here in Ghana. It wouldn’t be bad see Tesla’s African headquarters here in Ghana

CrowStu PLS

Bite more than you can chew.

Wait. I thought electric grew on renewable trees.

Well.... why not elonmusk? 💪🏻

Smart move, looks like they want to take everything in-house for max profitability.

Wow what a joke, Elon. Where's the insurance company you promised?

Ok sure

More of a profit driven commercial strategy. Cut out the supplies of a key component of your manufacturing and go direct. Larger portfolio, more income, more profit.

Wow, I guess that brings a whole new meaning to the term 'vertical integration.'
