I’m hoping they get out of building their own cars altogether. Sell the car manufacturing and focus on the infrastructure and important parts: charging network, drive train, battery packs, solar, and self-driving tech if that’s their goal. /armchair

I don't think they'll stop building their own cars. But I do think that partnering with other carmakers to produce powertrains for them is not a bad idea. They produced powertrains for the Smart EV and the Toyota Rav4 EV back in the day. Musk has hinted at partnering with utility van companies to electrify them.
