Tesla battery manufacturers and Child Labor. Bro, it's getting dark in here.

AOC the silence is deafening
What did Elon's family own? That's right. Mines in Africa.
Emerald's no less. The rarest and most expensive gemstone of them all.
Now he is switching to Cobalt.
QE2 's supposedly favorite tiara had all the emeralds in it. I think one of Andrew's daughters wore it for her wedding. And I believe it is Russian in origin. One of the 100K articles on the royals that has been going nonstop on MSN.
Yes indeed!
Seems to be an electric car problem, not a Tesla problem.

Learn to read your own postings, it says at least Tesla, Volkswagen, Toyota, Lucid and Rivian are relying on both CATL and BYD for these battery packs made with child labor. If you want to have a mature conversation about why you think it's a Tesla specific problem, we can, but right now it's not a good look with the "HAHA pwned!!!" response.
"It's an electric car problem, not a Tesla problem"
What does Tesla make?
Oh yea, the RNA bioreactor which the mRNA vaccine is a subtype of.
Oh, thats right! I'm the dumbass.
Currently Tesla has 3 battery manufactures besides itself, Panasonic, LG, and CATL, with the BYD deal never officially confirmed. Currently, LG and CATL are both the suppliers for made in China Tesla models, and Panasonic and Tesla itself are the main suppliers for American made models. At present, CATL's contributions to Tesla's batteries is limited to cobalt-free Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, with the extended range Lithium Ion batteries being sourced from LG instead. In addition, we have Tesla's Q1 report from this year. From this, we can glean on page 8 under Battery, Powertrain & Manufacturing that half their currently used batteries are lithium iron phosphate, with predominately the extended range batteries using Li-Ion battery tech. Clearly, if we are to lambast Chinese companies for using child labor in mining cobalt, Tesla has already gotten ahead of the curve and has eliminated cobalt from leaking in via 3rd party Chinese sources.
And, if you want to assume every part is tainted with Chinese child-mined cobalt, do you know who else makes EVs with batteries sourced from CATL? Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, GM, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz. Essentially every single major automobile manufacturer uses battery components sourced from CATL.
Finally, you're falling into the liberal trapping of conflating the use of a tool for bad things with the tool itself being bad. Just because someone uses a gun to murder an innocent doesn't mean that all guns are bad, just like because someone used mRNA to further a depopulation agenda means that all mRNA will be bad. It'd be one thing if Musk was able to skip nearly every clinical trial, and was using the threat of government force to force you to take the mRNA against your will, it's another if he's making an mRNA rabies vaccine that you likely wouldn't ever have to take under normal circumstances, and would still likely have the option for the "normal" one decades after the fact.
😲
Yes, were focusing on Tesla because of Musks connection to well, fucking everything at this point. Making it an app that mirror the Chinese Communist party app.
Oh but let me guess. "But just because China used it to spy on people, doesnt mean it will be bad"
Same as the Liberals argument for socialism. Essentially it "wasnt done right the last time" but "were going to tweak it and make it work this time."
If you complained about Bill Gates last year, but stump for Elon now, you're a fool, and you will accept his Mark of the Beast app.
"...but stump for Elon now, you're a fool, and you will accept his Mark of the Beast app."
If you'd have started with that, we'd be a lot more clear on why you don't like Musk.
NCSWIC. Go argue somewhere else nobody wants to hear your petty squabbles with each other.
Oh yea, because YOU'RE producing content worthy of attention.
You're such an Elonfag, you probably have a dildo in the shape of a Tesla logo.
And it should be noted that tesla is actually trying to source local where the others... aren't
Put your Twitters to good use. Tag Elon in a post calling him out.
Yea, were in some really deep shit.
The amount used in your phone or tablet is negligible compared to what goes into an EV battery. Not even close. The car battery thing is boondoggle on its own. They are no different than an iPhone battery. They don’t last and in a few years are 50% or less efficient. After 10 years, maybe less, they are junk and must be replaced. At that point, the battery costs more than the car is worth.
People need to see what’s happening here. They are attempting to make our cars like our phones. Useless after X amount of time, to be discarded for the new model. They know the batteries are worth more than the cars after 8-10 years. They know that makes the car essentially salvage. They are banking on it.
All of the other car manufacturers see the scam Tesla is doing, and are desperate to get the same scam going. They don’t want us driving diesel VWs or Toyota’s for 300k miles and 15 years. They want us buying cars like iPhones.
My single phone negligible yes. 10000 phones not so much.
Very strong comment here! I don't think regular people have figured this out. I think this should be it's own post tbh. I do believe that in a few years the market will catch on and the word will get out that the batteries don't last long enough and are too expensive to replace.
It's not just Tesla. Every lithium battery is made with materials mined by African child labor. Singling out one company makes it seem like others are innocent and honestly seems like a move straight out of the liberal playbook.
This is FIRE Chronic!! Awesome post!
So Elon,why don’t you make a non-lithium battery here in the U.S. certainly you must have the experts to come up with something more sustainable and less costly than a lithium car battery? Make it in the U.S. and cut your ties with the CCP.
That "kids in mines" photo is one of the most reused photos by the media and makes me ignore the source of reporting.
Your loss. The information is factual whether a stock photo is used or not.
Durr hurr. tHaTs NoT ReAL cObALt EiThEr.
I suppose those facts aren't real either?
Presentation matters.
