American manufacturer of electric sports car Tesla Motors is not afraid to take risks and not all the actions of the company, at first glance, backed up by a sober pragmatic calculation. For example, not so long ago, Tesla opened free access to its patents - for free any manufacturer can use the know-how of Tesla. While production Tesla Motors is still quite expensive, but the company still hopes to release electric Tesla Model 3, which cost in the US market will not exceed $ 35 000. However, to achieve this goal, Tesla will have to be built in the US in conjunction with the Panasonic factory for the production of traction batteries . According to the manufacturer, Japan's contribution to this project will reach $ 1.5-2 billion. When the battery production will be released in 2020 at full capacity, Tesla Motors to be able to produce 500,000 electric cars annually.
As reported by Bloomberg, representatives of Tesla Motors during his visit to Japan urged local component suppliers to act more boldly and decisively. One of the Tesla local partners , for example, not so long ago refused to increase production volumes, although the Americans insisted on that. There are also frequent cases when almost ready to begin mass production of the product is passed through a series of additional tests. If we consider that Japan is the second largest after the US supplier of components for Tesla Motors, like conservatism able to seriously affect the business of the customer.
According to Tesla Motors representatives , for the prosperity of the business must take risks, but such an approach to Japanese companies are not very close. Decision-making is sometimes delayed. Tesla Motors - a growing company and component suppliers have to catch up . Supplying Tesla batteries, Panasonic expects that the new fiscal year, which begins in April, it will be able to increase profits by 23% was due to the supply of automotive components. In the segment of the electronics business for Japanese manufacturers are not going well, and for them to participate in the distribution of profits from the sale of electric cars and hybrids could be a good tool in an attempt to get away from the loss.
