Looks like the push for electric vehicles is backfiring in California!

The car pictured above is backed by Tesla's Supercharging network. That means that it can travel anywhere in the US and Chinada.
Pick on all the other shit EV's. Tesla's are revolutionary and they're taking over the world.
Oh, and they're the most American-made Vehicles around.
Except the batteries. The innards are mined by slave labor overseas. The cars are "assembled" in America.
No it can travel anywhere in the US. There are only two charging stations in my whole county, and they probably don't fit Teslas.
The only person I know who owns a Tesla is a multi-millionaire. And he had to be on a waiting list for a year or more to get his Plaid. They claim the wait time is only a few months now. I'll never have enough money to buy one.
The material for the batteries can be recycled at almost 99%. That means that in like a decade mining will not be necessary. Where as oil is always needed. It's simple math bud. The transportation system had to evolve into EVs for everything...
Even Jordan Peterson tells young people to buy tesla shares. You should too and just hang on for 5 years minimum...
This comment will age well.
"oil is always needed"
Yes, and an energy source is also always needed for EVs, battery materials aside.
Check out the Tesla powerwall/Sunroof combination. The new 4860 battery will change the world.
But the windmills and solar panels cannot be recycled. Oil will never run out. Oil is the most concentrated portable source of power around, outside of nuclear. And the windmills require oil to operate and diesel-powered ships, trains, and trucks to get the windmill parts on site for assembly by more diesel-powered equipment. On top of that, I live down the road from one of the larger windmill installations in the US, and not one bit of that electricity is available to anyone in my state, especially not for cars. The fields of solar panels in my area also ship their power north to another state.
I'm pretty sure most "investments" in the markets will be toast soon.
I will be keeping my car for many years. Electrics will never really catch on until there are places to charge them, and they charge more quickly than hours. There are currently only two car chargers in my whole county. No one needs to travel with an electric car in my area.
Nuclear isn't portable though....
Yes, there are many dead zones that need work. Also I agree that Tesla, ramping as fast as it does, cannot fill in the whole market. Other EV makers have to jump all in in order to make the change quickly enough.
To me the dream of powering my car on solar roof panels is what the future is all about. Hopefully Tesla figures out the manufacturing issues with the new 4860 battery asap.
The EV credits, etc are bullshit IMO. Also cutting down oil manufacturing is moronic as even Elon said.. we need more oil not less. Fucking lefty fucks are destroying the economy on purpose.
The batteries already blow up on their own, and not just in EVs. Yes - let's make them even less stable by recycling them and creating refurbs. Should be a BLAST.
THis is the biggest FUD ever. Keep spreading it.
I agree with some of what you said for holding stock shares and such, but only until people get wise to the electric car/ less carbon ponzi scheme at least. Recycling still needs to have new material reintegrated back into the process to make it viable again. Look at your plastic bags, paper products, pretty much anything recycled. We will never escape mining minerals or having to add fresh raw material back into recycled items. Laws of Thermodynamics and Stoichiometry make it where there will never be a 100 percent recovery rate for recycled materials. Mining will never end IMHO. Carbon isn't the enemy anon, greedy corporate interests are the problem.
One of the original Tesla founders left to make his own company whose sole purpose is to recycle lithium batteries. They have achieved high 90s and believe that 99% will be possible very shortly.
The lithium doesn't dissapear. Maybe mining these materials will continue, but not at the scale that we are witnessing.
Owning TSLA shares is not the same as owning a Tesla car.
Owning both is the way to go!!!
Elon, is that you?
Oh hi!
This is what zealotry looks like. At war with reality.
Imagine thinking that EVs catch fire more than ICE cars... That is a mental illness
