because electric car sales have been slow. All of the battery makers involved have struggled (see oo Many Battery factories, Too Few Electric cars,

and one, A123 Systems, went bankrupt. Musk is betting that Tesla can generate a much bigger market for electric cars.

To keep the factory humming he will have to sell more than 10 times as many electric vehicles in a year as Nissan managed last year

(and Nissan has sold more electric cars than any other automaker). Musk has some reason for confidenceast year Tesla sold as many electric cars as Nissan in the United states,

even though Tesla Model S costs two to three times as much as Nissan electric car, the Leaf. He seems to be betting that a huge factory will significantly reduce the cost of making batteries,

which remain the most expensive part of electric cars. In the ideal scenario, that cost reduction would help Tesla produce a mass-market car similar in cost to the Nissan leaf or Chevrolet volt but that,

crucially, will be able to go more than twice as far on a charge (the car would also be able to accelerate faster than the Leaf).
