batteries are absolutely not a commodity at this time. every other manufacturer is held back by not enough battery capacity. Even the biggest companies are held back.

Yeah, until batteries are traded the same way actual commodities are they are not commodities. A good way to tell whether something is a commodity or not is whether there are strong brands in the space. I can’t go onto a major exchange and speculatively trade lithium battery cells.
