Panasonic batteries made to Tesla's specs not the general market.

Doesn't that mean that the manufacturing process is more or less a standard one? and that Panasonic has the same battery tech now?

I'm guessing Panasonic will prefer having more then a single costumer but regardless - that's quite a different narrative then "Tesla has a 5 year lead in battery tech".
