Didn't Tesla already give away their battery intellectual property or similar? If they did why wouldn't these other companies not just produce it themselves to cut Tesla out?



Their patents, yes. That's just the beginning.

Now all that one needs to do is to poach their battery engineers. And build their own factories. And iron out the kinks.

It's not like a competitor will be able to get their tech and beat them at their own game overnight - while delivering a cheaper product!
