Its kind of funny how people digging Tesla grave when BYD rise is a way bigger problem for all other car companies. Tesla is still producing a huge amount of EV compared to everybody.
Tesla strategy is to have huge factories, not many factories. They are not only building Giga Mexica. There is currently expansion of Berlin and Texas.
In addition to that they have many other things and locations. Such as their own lithium refinement. Battery materials factory in Austin and stuff like that.
> All that while Tesla seems to have lots cash at hand, so why don't they expand more aggressively?
As Musk has pointed out, the real limit isn't money but the ability to hire experts and to manage all these complex projects.
