When companies produce things, they usually go to dedicated manufacturers for specific parts. You may be shocked to learn this, but battery manufacturers existed before Tesla, and many companies use them to mass produce the parts. I've linked to a list of all the companies that do below. I'm willing to bet Tesla even relies on companies for other parts in their car. So the fact that they mass produce their own batteries IS unusual for a car company.

As for why it would hurt their rep, Tesla has this weird reputation right now as something other than just another company. Public perception shifting to the belief that all the "good, entrepreneurial" stuff they do is just to sell you batteries could hurt goodwill, especially among early adopters buying their products not because they're the most cost effective, but because they're "Tesla"


I'm still not getting it. No layman is going to find out they manufacture batteries and have an opinion shift on the company.

Hell I would have been surprised if Tesla didn't manufacture batteries \_()_/
