Engadget: Okay, so executives at Panasonic probably aren't in any big hurry to get ahead in the long, long wait for a Model S, but a $30 million gift could probably get 'em just that. Panny has this week sunk quite a few bills into Tesla by way of a common stock purchase, and while the two have expressed fondness for each other before, this kind of investment doesn't happen without a serious tie-up being in the works. Of course, Panasonic just so happens to be the planet's leading battery cell manufacturer, and as of now, it's being called Tesla's "preferred lithium-ion battery cell supplier for its battery packs." So yeah, you know where to look first when things start overheating, melting or spontaneously erupting in flames.
Just one day after the California DMV filed to take Tesla to court, over 2 million Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y vehicles are being recalled.
Glad to see Chris at Acceleramota is an idiot and loves to spread misinformation. This so called βrecallβ was just an update that was sent out to certain Tesla models and year.
