Or rather from Panasonic. That's where Tesla get's its batteries from.

(Tesla financed the Gigafactory, but it is operated by Panasonic, and they previously bought their lithium-battery cells from Panasonic. This is according to Tesla's own 10-K filings [1,2]).

Or from LG: http://www.lgchem.com/global/lg-chem-company/information-cen...

Batteries supply appears to be a solved problem quite soon.
