特斯拉因交易变质向核心锂电公司提起潜在诉讼

特斯拉 is waving a legal red flag to Australian mining company, Core Lithium. Why? A deal they hoped to seal last year didn’t pan out. Core Lithium shared last Wednesday that Tesla might pursue “all available legal remedies” if they don’t sort things out together.

The deal they were discussing? A supply agreement signed last March, where Tesla, led by Elon Musk, was set to get spodumene, an important ingredient for batteries, from Core Lithium.

Both companies had until October 26, 2022, to finalize things, but alas, no deal. This wasn’t just a small order, either. Core Lithium was talking big numbers – supplying 110,000 tonnes of spodumene from its Finniss project in Australia.

It’s no secret: electric vehicles are gaining traction. Big names like General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford are all on the hunt for essential battery materials.

在这中间，特斯拉 据报道 inked a separate five-year deal with Australia’s Liontown Resources last year. They’re buying 100,000 dry metric tonnes of lithium concentrate starting 2024, and upping that number in the years that follow.

当路透社问及此事时，特斯拉和科锐锂电都没有给出自己的看法。那么，这两家巨头是会解决此事，还是会将其告上法庭呢？时间会证明一切。
