If Musk wasn’t with Tesla, I’d consider Tesla an option. And, I’m definitely in the market, my lease runs out in January. But with that idiot, nope. No chance. Doesn’t even have anything to do with Trump support. So I guess he’s right in a way?
Just the other day I saw a Tesla with a bumper sticker stating "I bought this before Elon went crazy."
Ioniq, or wait for the solid state battery packs in 2026. That's my dilemma.
See, I was going to get an ioniq or a Kia. And then Amnesty International released a report that makes it clear just why they are priced so nicely: by exploiting people and the environment, and not caring.
Tesla is getting a very good result in that report (or, let’s say, as good as any EV maker gets). It’s a shame I can’t consider them.
I wonder where the source study for that graph is. Mercedes and Tesla aren't known for their accuracy when it comes to self reports. So if that graph is going by where the companies say they're getting material, vs where the material is actually being sourced it's not very useful to me.
According to the methodology section of the report it is indeed based on the companies’ disclosed policies etc. What is problematic from my point of view though is that Hyundai didn’t even try to comment on the report when they were shown the draft. Sounds to me like they do not care.
Or they're honest in their reporting at least
Why not both?
