> Tesla, beset by concerns over demand and its ability to make a profit, last month accused its battery supplier, Panasonic Corp., of being the culprit for tepid production rates of the affordable Model 3.

I'm confused. I thought the Gigafactory was supposed to be building batteries, as in building cells, not just building battery packs from third party cells.
