Well actually, I remember an executive from Toyota saying that they do plan on working with Tesla on future projects after the RAV4 was announced ending. Though that may have just been a formality thing. Overall, I think Toyota will end up working with Tesla for same reason Sony caved in and started working with Samsung on LCD. The issue here is, Toyota is saying affordable fuel cell cars won't be ready until 2025+. Tesla Model 3 will come in 2017, which gives Tesla a whole decade. Can Toyota really sit there and afford not to compete? With the gigafactory up and running, Tesla would be open to Toyota making gliders because we need to remember that it is not only about battery production buy glider production. So Tesla might be a year or so behind in glider production vs battery production. Now they can dedicate that production to storage systems but would also be open to letting Toyota build their gliders.
