Tesla is negotiating to acquire $2.9 billion worth of solar manufacturing equipment from Chinese suppliers, including Suzhou Maxwell Technologies. The equipment will support Tesla's goal of achieving 100 gigawatts of annual solar manufacturing capacity in the U.S. by 2028. This initiative is driven by increasing U.S. power consumption, particularly from AI data centers, and the growth of Tesla's energy division. Musk emphasizes that solar energy is essential for meeting the demands of AI infrastructure economically.
