Tesla: We don't and can't pay for the high $/kg it is worth ($22,500/kg pre carbon coat) and want and need it at $100/kg TOPS.
Mr.Tourillon: Why would I sell at $100/kg when I can sell to the hydrogen market and possibly other industries who have been waiting for nano silicon powders to come down in price even by 50% ($10,000/kg) to make their products more economical while you continue to request small samples as you build the 4680 factory line.
Tesla: Look here's a Purchase Order for December Silicon Nano Powders. I can't be messing around as I need to get the 4680 assembly line running as I start the Renewable Energy Revolution and need my materials when I need it and I need it cheap. We are the largest growing auto manufacture who is about to enter the S&P 500 debuting at #8 we can't partner with you. *whispers* And we also need silicon for our alloys, space x, solar panels, Neuralink...
Mr.Tourillon: Ahhh but you can. See PUREVAP NSiR IP is owned by HPQ Nano, a private subsidiary of HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. and that's what you need to do to. Invest into a private Tesla subsidiary and call it "Tesla Silicon", otherwise I am sorry if other big contracts come in. I know the value of my silicon and the markets waiting for my product, I wish I could hold back for you buddy but even my other partner Apollon is eager for orders for their Gennao 200W portable hydrogen generator, check it out its right here...
Tesla mutters: Prove to me in Dec you can fill my order and we will talk partnership.
Just my take on a lot of secretive events that have happened behind the scenes and what I believe is about to unfold. Your due diligence is due. Get on it!
