The massive scale of cell purchases by Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] has already boosted global production levels.

It may soon use as many '18650' lithium-ion cells itself as the entire industry produced before the Model S went into production a year ago.

But ensuring adequate battery supplies in sufficient time to expand car production is absolutely key to continuing Tesla's growth. More..."
