I thought most Tesla batteries were CATL, LG, and Panasonic.

Tesla is working with those companies. But Tesla also has its own batteries, their own battery IP, their own manufacturing lines and so on. They even manufacture some of their own manufacturing equipment.

The have factories in Germany and Canada building dedicated battery manufacturing equipment.

They have their own battery factory in California, in Texas and in Berlin. Model Y are already being sold with these batteries in it.

And Tesla own batteries are very innovative specially in terms of their manufacturing.
