re: Electric Automobiles - What's your take?

Not quite the range/cost I need for me to get one and I don’t want a truck that looks like the cyber truck. The Rivians are real interesting though with their tow charge feature. Needs some more growth, but the tech is looking very promising. It’s a noble goal to try and reduce pollution, but it shouldn’t be rushed and cause pain to our way of life.

If only we can improve those horrible and very very polluting ways that the lithium, a rare earth metal, is extracted from our beautiful and marvelous earth.

Woe is the pit mine. Woe is extracting a rare metal that is nonrenewable from the earth.

Tesla is actually working on that problem and investing a ton in it. Besides slowing down mining with recycling, they are also finding new ways to create the batteries so mining isn’t as necessary and how they make the batteries so they produce less harmful waste. The battery day presentation had some good info in it and why I will keep investing in them.
