    Glencore is doing decades of damage and billions of dollars of environmental harm but let’s put Tesla’s name in the title and smear green energy.

    Glencore bribes high ranking officials and manipulates even the oil commodities market, but Tesla will get those clicks, and if it doesn’t, oh well! People will just continue assuming electric vehicles are evil harbingers of woke culture or some shit, I guess.

    What a shit title.

      The market will move to sodium-ion in 5-10 years top anyway. Much cheaper, a lot less polluting, a lot less rare elements needed.

        Mate, sodium-ion is “two years away” for ten years now…

        Not that I don’t want it, but just, it doesn’t make much confidence.

        Let’s make LFP batteries for now.

      These areticles are 100% written by big oil. It’s quite literally propaganda. They are going so hard in the paint to try and slow down EV adoption. The IEA predicted we are going to hit peak demand by 2030. I think personally that they are way off and we’ll get there far sooner, but peak demand means terminal decline in oil demand.

      It’s the beginning of the end for them and they are scared.

      Random people I talk with spout out nonsense about battery fires burning down your house. It’s already getting through to a lot of people.

      Hilariously gas is highly combustible and ICE car fires are sooooo freaking common you just never hear about them lol.

        Or by Big Train or Big Bicycle? There’s much to hate about EV cars, and the alternative is not fossil fuels.
