All this from an S65 fanatic.
Are you referring to the 7000 laptop size batteries in every Tesla Model S? (Slightly larger than AA batteries.)

By 2020 all of the major car companies will have passed Tesla in technology and the capability to build a large volume of affordable cars while Tesla will still be having problems manufacturing its Model X with less than 90% assembly line QC problems.

By 2021 Tesla will be a takeover target. It will be gone by 2024.
