TESLA, PANASONIC to End Solar-Roof Partnership at U.S. Plant
Tesla Inc. and Panasonic Corp. plan to end their partnership in producing solar cells for rooftops at a facility in Buffalo, New York, according to people familiar with the matter.
Panasonic is withdrawing from the venture as part of the company's broader recent move to curtail money-losing businesses, one of the people said, asking not to be named because the decision isn't public. The move comes after the two companies have struggled to ramp up production at the facility, known as Gigafactory New York, said the people. They will continue to produce car batteries together at the original Gigafactory in Nevada.
Tesla and the Japanese company have had a tumultuous relationship since they unveiled an agreement in 2014 for Panasonic to make the batteries that power the American company's electric vehicles.
. . . The factory has been slow to ramp up since output began in late 2017, with just one production line running a year later. . . .

Apropos, warum wurde denn von ElonMusk seine typisch großspurige Ankündigung:
". . . bis Ende 2019 Solardächer 1T/Woche . . ."
wieder Mal, n i c h t auch nur annähern derfüllt ?
PS: Der Gerichts-Prozess zu der damaligen sehr teuren SolarCity-Übernahme beginnt im März.
