Sila Resources and Tesla Extend Deadline for Resolving Graphite Supply Dispute—Third Time

Syrah Resources of Australia announced on Monday that it has agreed with Tesla to extend—for the third time—the deadline for resolving a dispute over their graphite supply agreement. The original agreement, signed in 2021, committed Syrah to supply Tesla with 8,000 metric tons of graphite annually over four years—a deal critical to Syrah’s operations in Vidalia, Louisiana, U.S. This latest extension aims to give both parties more time to negotiate a resolution to the alleged breach and prevent further deterioration of their business relationship.
