So I agree with everything stayed here. In fact, I don't believe it's anything I haven't heard before.  Having said that, there are other YouTubers who have done better at basically stating the same facts.<br>We should and need to encourage more environmentally friendly practices.  Buying Tesla may not do so but if we start imposing more fines on them? It's possible we could probably start encouraging better practices.  Is that going to happen, I sure as fuck hope so.<br>Also, you forgot to mention that there are alternative batteries being developed right now. Well they don't completely eliminate lithium they do get rid of the other two metals.  They are not there yet, but hopefully in the future they will be.  <br>I do not own a Tesla, but I do think electric cars are a part of the future.  Gas is going away. We need alternatives. Electric cars are just one of them.  And yes, we need to have more responsible owners who acknowledge and encourage better practices while we still have to use these very destructive medals.
