Tesla withdraws termination notice on graphite supply deal with Australia's Syrah
Article Summary
HOLD- Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) withdrew a notice of intent to terminate a graphite supply deal with Australia's Syrah Resources, ending months of negotiations that saw the two companies extend a resolution deadline four times.
- Syrah aimed to supply 8,000 metric tons of graphite anode materials to electric vehicle maker Tesla over a four-year period from its Vidalia plant in Louisiana under the 2021 contract, while Tesla issued a default notice in July 2025 citing conformity issues with active anode material delivered from Vidalia facility.
- Tesla now accepts that the miner has demonstrated it is producing conforming AAM samples and has made sufficient progress, while Syrah said Tesla has reserved its existing right to terminate the supply agreement should the final qualification of Vidalia AAM not be achieved.
- Vidalia is the only vertically integrated, large-scale producer of anodematerials outside China, helping reduce U.S. dependence on Chinese supplies that dominate market.
