Reply to comment by DavidLedeux in German scientists show a commercially feasible method for cyanobacteria to extract 17 rare earth elements from low-concentration sources. Currently, most of the world's supply of these elements is mined in China. by lughnasadh

Evs are the non-combustable vehicle if you care about reality

You're using a website owned and funded by people who short Tesla stock. If that's your basis of evidence, try harder.

The data clearly shows that EVs account for a smaller percentage of fires than ICE cars.

Maybe ask yourself why they haven't updated their claim statistics for over 5 years.

They also skew their numbers by logging any incident involving a Tesla product which results in a fire. So if I crash my ICE car into your Tesla and they both catch fire, it goes in the book as a Tesla fire. But hey, why let facts get in the way, huh?

Oh, that's a great point I hadn't considered. I'm sure that skews the data a bunch

Tesla is not the only EV manufacturer anymore.

Other manufacturers are coming online, and unless Tesla gets its quality and quantity issues straightened out, they're going to be Netflix in five years... the early market-maker that had its lunch eaten by the competition.

Right now they're all like Paramount+: no one has them, no one gives a shit. There's going to come a day where they're going to have to do some kind of cash for clunkers type buyback program or something. But again, going back to my original point, US auto emissions are a drop in the bucket compared to the waste that corporations in China and elsewhere get away with dumping.

Objectively untrue.

Ford's F-150 Lightning has received rave reviews, and Ford has been ramping up their production efforts in recent months.

Tesla's ridiculous Cybertruck is DOA at this point, and while their other models are still mostly ahead of the competition, only a lunatic would assume that's going to last for too much longer.
