He'd strongly hinted at this recently, so it's not a major surprise.

I am similarly mystified at why no other carmaker has gone down a similar route in terms of battery tech - Tesla absolutely kicks the ass of any of the other cars on the market in terms of range.

Very cool to hear they're working on teaming up with other makes to share their Supercharger network.
