See, their plans are already far ahead of the competition.

But Tesla's battery plans are detailed and specific, 50% reduction in cost with the same battery chemistry by doing these 5 things. VW's is 50% reduction in cost by changing to Iron. Tesla's already using Iron in their standard range cars, there's just no comparison
