If that tesla giga factory significantly reduced battery prices that would be great.
But what if all they do is eliminate competition and set the price as they see fit?
In the U.S. you have to have full coverage with a car payment to protect the buyer and the financier. That way when the car gets wrecked the buyer isnt stuck with a car payment with no car or the lender doesn't get defaulted on.
If financing a new battery is considered a car payment then going to full coverage at least doubles your insurance.
