The batteries are what connect them. No one else will be making batteries at that rate, at least for a pretty long time. Tesla has the cheaper batteries and related tech to use them in solar power along with cars.

I'd assume that the Chinese electric car and bus manufacturers, who make far more vehicles than Tesla, are making batteries at a much greater rate (or at least their suppliers are).
