Tesla's agreement to supply battery packs for Toyota's electric crossover may be ending this year, but that doesn't necessarily mean the companies will be going their separate ways. In fact, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently said he could see the brand joining forces with Toyota once again within the next couple of years, collaborating on a new venture that currently remains a mystery.
During a recent ceremony for the release of the Tesla Model S in Japan, Musk dropped hints about possibly teaming up with Toyota again, but did not give any concrete details as to whether or not the venture will definitely happen and what it will entail. But, he did say it would be a big project.
"I think that if you look out maybe two or three years from now, that I would not be surprised if there is a significant deal with Toyota," Musk said. "My best guess is that it would probably be something significant, maybe on a much higher volume level."
We're hoping the potential partnership could result in a new car created by the automakers, but as of now, there is nothing set in stone. However, since Toyota owns 2.4-percent of Tesla, it is very likely that both brands could team up again. We'll just have to wait and see what comes of Musk's comments and keep our fingers crossed for another collaboration.
