GM desperately needs Tesla's battery design but Musk does not need to sell his company, now that it is outselling all other luxury car manufacturers.
Battery technology is getting very advanced and will produce a lithium battery that will be at least four times the power density in a few years.
The note book battery demand has made this possible
Also Tesla batteries are $200.00@kwh and will be $120.00@kwh very soon.
The tipping point in EV technology will be in 2016. The miles per charge will be as much as an ICE car by then. ICE cars will become like steam engine cars of the past, obsolete.
