Don't ignore the other battery companies.

  Foxconn hopes to build cars priced under US$15,000, 
  according to Gou. The contract manufacturer already 
  develops electric car batteries, which he said were in demand.
Look out, Tesla.

Being that the batteries are the expensive part of an electric car, Foxconn could get to the mass market before Tesla, and possibly set back the market if the experience sucks.




Does Foxconn have much expertise in manufacturing batteries?


Maybe not as much, but Apple has been "poaching" Tesla's engineers.
