Elon Musk addressed speculation regarding Tesla's potential investment in Nissan, suggesting the rumored proposal lacks merit. He emphasized Tesla views its factories as integral products, exemplified by their innovative production lines, including Gigafactory Shanghai and the recently discussed unboxed process. Musk's comments indicate that retrofitting existing car factories could complicate Tesla's manufacturing goals, making it less likely the company would pursue acquisition talks for Nissan's U.S. facilities. Thus, if Nissan hopes to leverage its factories, it may not be adequate to entice Tesla's investment.
The Tesla factory IS the product. The Cybercab production line is like nothing else in the automotive industry.
Given Tesla's goal with the manufacturing process, it would probably be more challenging for the EV automaker to retrofit an old car factory rather than build a new factory from scratch.
