Couldn't get the article, but a lot of copy cats is what I expect.
We are in a very similar situation to when Ford started selling lots of cars and then suddenly there were loads and loads of folk who copied his ideas.
In the UK we had dozens of marques, most of which went bust for business and political reasons and then what was left was put into BMC and when it was totally wrecked was sold to the Germans.
I expect something similar although batteries are much more difficult to make than were internal combustion engines so that will slow the copy cats.

The more I think about this the more it seems like he is baiting shorts in.
If this is correct then there will be at least one spectacularly bullish announcement at the event.

Re: Musk endeavours
QA
cell mfg in berlin
thermal mge for homes is pet project ... hvac .....maybe start working next year ....yackety yack (i agree with him)
CyT volume unknown, 0.6m orders, maybe 250k-300k/yr, for USA spec not global superset spec, int version for others late in smaller form)
(Texas direct sales maybe ....)
50/50 grid/vehicle battery demand long term
model 2 @$25k tips into virtuous cycle in mass market
fundamental constraint is cells, that is why TSLA are (now) entering it and focussed on it, so if they overdo it then maybe other manufacturers can dine off their crumbs
LFP for medium range 300mile ought to become normal, copy the pattern
v2g requires a mains cutoff (no [expletive deleted] sherlock, i.e. Tesla powerwall is hub control)
aiming to stay profitable but push hard on affordability (m2 @$25k etc)
that's all folks

Re: Musk endeavours
Wow!
Extraordinary improvements, making the batteries part of the structure of the car & the reduction in costs leading to the putative $25k car & at the same time creating the plaid model 3 muscle/race car, all done with reducing environmental impact & lower consumer costs. Very like a 21st century version of what Ford did in improving personal movement at lower cost & transforming lives.
It will be almost impossible for existing ice makers to compete which is great for the air that everyone breathes.

Re: Musk endeavours
Market did not like battery day, Tesla shares off nearly 7% in the after hours market to $395.
This seems a reasonable reaction given that most of what was spoken off will be huge in the next few years, but before then there are no obvious catalysts to support the share price, causing return hungry investors to sell Tesla and move to anything that can likely perform in the short term.
This type of reaction will likely have been expected by the board who may have kept back things for this dead period that could be material so that shorts don't have a complete free fire zone over the next year to 18 months.
As things now stand it looks like the next 12 to 18 months will be a big consolidation period for Tesla the company and a period of flat to weak equity performance, unless they have something hidden ready to be announced. However, once this period is over one can expect investors to flock back to Tesla as their improvements in manufacturing, vehicle construction and much lower costs for battery packs will have very substantial commercial advantages.

Re: Musk endeavours
Battery day a bit of a damp squib then.
I'd be willing to bet that we will not see a $25,000 dollar Tesla in 2022.
