Haymes Hotel Launches Sustainable Modular Hotel Suites
LOS ANGELES, CA / / June 11, 2025 / Haymes Hotel, a forward-thinking hospitality company, announces the debut of its new line of prefabricated modular hotel suites. Designed to deliver "barefoot luxury," these turnkey suites merge architectural sophistication with environmental responsibility. A New Standard in Modular HospitalityHaymes Hotel introduces a compelling alternative to conventional lodging by offering elevated modular suites built for immersive, nature-connected experiences. Rather than following short-term trends, the brand focuses on long-term value and meaningful guest experiences. Distinct from glamping or tiny homes, each suite is fully equipped, delivering the comfort and quality of traditional hospitality while maintaining a seamless connection to the natural environment. Engineered for Local Compliance and CustomizationWhere many prefabricated developers face regulatory friction and generic output, Haymes Hotel builds every suite to local code from the outset. This site-specific compliance model accelerates approvals and mitigates costly delays. Each unit is also highly customizable. Clients can select from a curated palette of finishes and materials to ensure the suite harmonizes with its landscape. This approach balances efficiency with individuality without additional cost. Built Inside the Nation's Most Advanced Modular FacilityAll construction takes place inside a 200,000-square-foot MegaFactory in Patterson, California. The controlled environment includes dedicated work pods that eliminate weather disruptions and improve build consistency. Suites can be completed in as little as 45 days. The MegaFactory itself is powered by renewable energy, including FreeVolt PV Graf™ solar panels and Tesla's Megapack storage system. To date, over 37,000 pounds of embodied carbon have been eliminated through strategic material selection, including the avoidance of steel, copper, and vinyl. Materials are evaluated not only for performance and aesthetics but also for sustainability. For example, Haymes Hotel uses hemp fiber batt insulation made of 90% natural fiber. It contains no VOCs or toxins, delivers superior performance, and is safe for installers and guests alike. Modern Ownership Meets Direct-to-Guest TechnologyHaymes Hotel is also reimagining how rooms are marketed and managed. Guests book directly through bypassing third-party fees common to platforms like Airbnb. For owners, the company is developing proprietary software that streamlines bookings, maintenance, and performance tracking, allowing individuals to own income-producing hotel real estate with minimal overhead.

Tesla Aims to Slash China Battery Spending
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has a plan to cut China?sourced batteries by vertically integrating production, Piper Sandler's Alexander Potter says. He reiterated his Buy rating and $400 price targetimplying 16.2% upsideciting Tesla's efforts to produce in?house 4680 cells and eventually manufacture cathode materials, refine lithium, and assemble cells without Chinese inputs. Potter, after a May 30 call with battery expert Jordan Giesige, notes that Tesla's 4680 production is already approaching 0% reliance on China. The firm aims to make its own cathode active materials, lithium, anodes, electrodes and complete cells in?house, a claim unmatched by any U.S. automaker. He highlights Tesla's dry battery electrode (DBE) process as five to six times faster than traditional wet coating, which could yield material capital and operating cost savings. Giesige added that Tesla's push to build roughly 10 GWh of domestic LFP (iron?based) battery capacity could meet 25% of the 40 GWh annual requirement for Megapack energy storage systems in the U.S. Despite these ambitions, Potter cautions that fully insulating the U.S. supply chain from China within two years is infeasible. Yet, with the Trump administration hammering on reducing foreign dependence and boosting domestic manufacturing, Tesla's proactive roadmap could pay off long?term. Investors should care because Tesla's in?house battery strategy targets a major cost and supply?chain vulnerabilitypotentially lowering costs and securing critical materials as geopolitical pressures rise. With Tesla's next Battery Day anticipated later this year, markets will watch for updates on its DBE scaling and LFP capacity milestones. That said, Tesla is facing a mixed outlook, with a 12-month price target of $289.20about 16% below current levels, according to GuruFocus. While some analysts see potential upside to $500, the bearish end plunges dramatically to $19.10. That wide gap signals deep uncertainty around Tesla's execution, demand trends, and competitive pressures heading into 2026. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Piper Sandler: Is Tesla the only U.S. automaker with a plan to bypass China?
-- Tesla appears to be the only U.S. automaker seriously pursuing battery independence from China, according to Piper Sandler. 'Thanks to vertical integration, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is the only car company that is trying to source batteries, at scale, without relying on China,' the firm said in a note following a call with battery expert Jordan Giesige. For its in-house 4680 batteries, 'China reliance is already approaching 0%,' Piper Sandler noted. While full independence remains years away, the firm emphasized that 'at least Tesla has a plan.' The company is reportedly working to refine its own lithium, produce cathode active materials (CAM), coat its own electrodes, and assemble batteries entirely in-house. 'No other U.S. entity can make similar claims,' argues Piper Sandler. One major focus is Tesla's dry battery electrode (DBE) process, which Piper Sandler said 'is 5x–6x faster than coating anodes or cathodes with a wet process.' If scalable, they believe it could deliver 'material' capital and operating cost savings. The process may start scaling by year-end, though Piper said Giesige highlighted that this remains uncertain. Tesla is also making progress on domestic iron-based (LFP) battery production. Piper Sandler said Giesige pointed out that the company is likely trying to commission '~10GWh of domestic LFP capacity,' which could eventually cover 25% of the 40GWh required for Megapack production in the U.S. Ultimately, even if Tesla's novel refining methods fail, the firm argues that the company wouldn't be disadvantaged relative to competitors, because no one else is trying. 'Success isn't assured, and in the next 2+ years, there's no way to insulate the U.S. supply chain from China... but at least Tesla has a plan,' concluded Piper Sandler.

Musk's xAI to Use Tesla Batteries at Memphis Supercomputer
Elon Musk's xAI is using Tesla Inc.'s Megapack batteries to shore up its 'Colossus' supercomputer in Memphis, another example of the overlapping interests between Musk's companies. Megapack batteries have been added to the system to help it ride through outages and surges in demand, the Greater Memphis Chamber said in a press release Wednesday. The xAI project was recently connected to a new electric substation that is supplying 150 megawatts of power, the business group said.
