Panasonic owns half the Gigafactory.

Tesla doesn't have any leverage here. Panasonic does what it wants. Tesla can decide to switch to another supplier, but Panasonic can just start selling to GM or Ford.

Of course, for Gigafactory 1 Tesla and Panasonic are married.

I was talking about Gigafactory 2.
