It is also the second largest consumer of them (making local production a good option). Excluding Tesla's in house production, all other battery makers of any scale are foreign companies.

Aren't Tesla batteries made by Panasonic (inside Tesla factories)?

Not the newer 4680s.

Tesla makes 4680 in-house, but without all that fancy dry processed cathodes that promises up to ~20% reduction in cost.

LG should be mass-producing 4680's by now (and dry battery electrode by 2027). Panasonic? Maybe soon, but dunno when.
