RE: Car manufacturers anyone?3 Feb 2023 15:19
PGE, informative post but I think there is a misunderstanding. You went on tangent about Tesla sourcing direct from resource suppliers, manufacturing cars in a more efficient manner, profit margins vs other car manufactures, numerous patients, charging infrastructure, Chinese, etc etc.
I’m very much aware of Tesla was a pioneer in partnering with mining companies and various manufacturing processes. In simple terms, my short post was stating I doubt Tesla would partner up with other car manufactures such as GM in the resource space, first Tesla being extremely cash rich doesn’t need to partner even to spread risk and more importantly Musk’s ego is too big. In 2020, Musk tweeted miners to “please mine more nickel” and offered a “giant contract” to anyone who could do it sustainably. I’d say HZM fits the bill.
Nothing would rocket HZM more than a 3 letter tweet by Musk – HZM. The Tesla crowd would be here in minutes.
