Pretty sure Daimler had a side deal selling the plant to Electrovaya. Or Electrovaya would have buckled under pressure to someone else. Tesla and Daimler have had things pretty competitive between each other in the past. Just maybe they told Electrovaya to stick with them on the automotive side of things. Which is a good idea.....and a win win for Electrovaya..for the future. Remember Daimler has a reputation for being sly...and this would be a smart move for them. In my view...it's Daimler vs Tesla.....and it always has been.
