  1. 95% of the battery material is recyclable. If a battery pack has a 20 year life, only 5% of the packs have to be recycled each year.

  2. Except that it's not 1%. BEV sales have surpassed the 5% mark in the U.S., and it's in the double digit percentages in Europe. 85% of new sales in Norway are EVs. New technologies follow an S-curve, which means the growth is exponential, not linear.

  3.  @panchovillaMSK  I'm talking about sales. The percentage is rising exponentially.

  4. What exactly is the impact of solar on the environment?

  5.  @haroldfarquad6886  what's wrong with natural gas? We have centuries of supply.

  6.  @haroldfarquad6886  The renewables crowd is living in a fantasy. Elon Musk estimates it will take 300 Twh to power the planet with electricity. Even if we could do it with solar, it will take decades to build the battery capacity. We will need nuclear and natural gas for a long time.

  7. When you're at home, you charge in your garage. Tesla has a massive supercharger network that is expanding rapidly. You can find them on every highway.

  8. The numbers don't add up. If you charge a 60kwh battery pack, the electricity will cost roughly $7-11, and it will get you about 250 miles. If you own an ICE car that gets an average of 25 mpg, you will need to purchase 10 gallons of gas at a current cost of $40-50.

  9. There's no used market? That's why used Tesla's are selling above their new sticker price. And ICE cars catch on fire far more often than EVs. Educate yourself instead of regurgitating some nonsense you read on Twitter.

  10.  @bidencrimefamilymottof-cky953  When autonomous driving is perfected, you won't need to own a car. You'll call a ride on your phone. Owning a car is massively wasteful. It sits unused virtually all day.

  11.  @carywhozawhastit2024  newer tesla battery packs last hundreds of thousands of miles. There are used EVs for sale. Do I know someone who personally bought one? No. People are struck by lightning. Do I know someone who was struck by lightning? No. Completely irrelevant. EVs are cheaper to maintain than ICE cars, far fewer parts.

  13. It's about $7-11, a lot less than a tank of gas.
