As PR moves go "calling them out" was a good one.

But even if Boeing had achieved the extremely unlikelihood of being able to get Tesla car batteries modified, fitted to their aircraft and approved by the relevant licensing bodies, it wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference to the totally unrelated Honeywell bit of kit suspected of catching fire in the Ethiopian 787

I don't think Elon was suggesting Tesla batteries so much as the batteries similar to the ones used on the Falcon 9.
