1. Better start building your gigafactories. VAG, Tesla and many others are already doing it, or those who don’t will have to buy batteries from other car/battery manufacturers. All manufacturers have battery technology in production, so it is just a matter of capacity and resources than developing the technology, especially since Tesla has released past patents, so that won’t be an excuse.
