When you are done here, Real Science just uploaded a fascinating video about methods being developed to transform any blood into the universal O type blood.

Good work!!
The amount of lithium that we need is many times more than worldwide estimated reserves and resources.
Talon metals is gonna be responsible and clean mining for nickle in mn.
I'll say BYD's Blade battery cell is ahead of Tesla's lithium battery format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOxIoFNfEsk&list=LL&index=17
This would have been a little more comprehensible if many of the statistics I struggled with had been converted to units I could understand. For instance, I would have had a better grasp of some of the problems if, instead of saying "700 grams Nickel per kilowatt hour", maybe saying "7 kilograms Nickel per vehicle".
I know it's a battery supply problem, but none of the statistics are in "X number of batteries" or "Y number of cars".
Just my opinion… Since I'm maybe a bit average, as a Joe, I can think in terms of numbers of things I can ordinarily visualize, and then maybe abstract those units into ones I'm just now learning, but *starting* with talking about kilowatt hours and megatons of Nickel, I can't personally equate that to "My gosh, he's talking about using up all the Nickel in the world and only being able to make 100,000 cars! THAT doesn't sound too economical…"
Well, just my own overly caffeinated and verbose opinion…
I'm not sure these battery cars are as green as they have you think.
What we need is to build drones that are solar powered that act like Bussard Collectors and fly them over specific areas of the ozone ideally the Antartic so they can take in all the CS gases to prevent further fresh water melting into the oceans!
I think part of the shortage problem is disposable e-cigs and ridiculous medical test devices that hog the limited supply of rechargeable batteries for one-time use._

This is why the current market value of Tesls is insane. Tesla will never reach the profitability people think it will. The elements needed to make Tesla batteries will be the limiting reagent of Tesla's growth. This is the same concept of limiting reagents in chemical reactions.
Kim Kardashian is more important than this
Congo is the largest supplier
EVs truly aren’t any better than gas vehicles. Between production of these batteries (among other parts) and charging the batteries, you’re basically at a wash.
I just do not see Lion battery cars as a large scale solution. They are just not energy dense enough, cause fires that cannot be put out, take too long to recharge, and uses too much rare earth elements. Either new battery tech is needed or hydrogen needs to evolve.
I don’t have A fuel shortage problem on my diesel.
You got the polarity of anode and cathode wrong.
Best use…… Liquid Hydrogen fuel.
Nickel. Important. Recycling is also important. Make your own watts. Solar is coming around. Storage is a stumbling block. I use deep cycle batteries. Not so good. Our chemists are working on it. Too bad gasoline is so good.
Just suck the carbon out of the air. Problem solved.
Kammen ca. 15% mehr Tesla Produktion nur aus China das ausbaufähig war oder auch schon aus Houston Texas dabei mehr Model Y dabei mit im Mittel höherem Preis aber als nicht in Bilanz getrennte Anzahl dabei unc welchen mittleren Zinssatz er zahlt bei 10% hieße das ca. 3 Milliarden $ an Krediten in Q3 zusätzlich bezahlt.
aber etwas weniger cash da in Q3 unklar wie Gewinnmarge auch zuvor bei steigenden Lithiumpreisen stieg.
Wieviel Prozent der geoßen Hallen in Grünheide mit bezahlten Robotern ?
Wieviel kauften Model 3 noch ohne Extras mit voller Subvention jetzt 1500€ weniger und 2000€ teurer ?
2022 sinkt StaatsNteil.wieder auf 50© von 75% aber bis 2025 alles was Tesla macht auch Solarpanel Elektro Tankstellen und Heimlade Statiinen hoch subventioniert aber nicht nur für Tesla das denen geht.
Li2CO3 am 20.10 fast bei 200 000y
und Strom zur Umwandlung knapp.
Uranium ?
For trucks, the eHighway system by Siemens being tested in Germany seems like a great solution to reducing the amount of batteries required
The elephant in the room is the generation of the electricity for these cars. Most power is non renewable. Solar and wind just cant keep up. Oil, gas and coal still make uo the vast majority of power generation.
Say "but"

The research of better batteries is critical to the future of renewable energy, but trying to solve the climate crisis with electric cars is a fallacy. Tesla tries to sell itself as environmentally conscious, but it's just interested in the car manufacturing market share.
We shouldn't only focus on the supply side, but also on the demand. The only way to solve this is by designing cities and infrastructure to be less reliable on private cars and batteries and more focused on public transit, railroads and cycling.
It’s nonsense to say we need to translation away from fossil fuels “quickly.” The data simply do not support this claim. Negative impacts of “climate change” are alarmingly oversold, whilst positive impacts are wholly ignored. The data set is tiny compared to history, and the data we do have shows the underlying causal assumptions may be completely wrong. There are many scientists who dismiss climate alarmism completely, and they shouldn’t be ignored when the cost of action is perilously high.
Can i use this for solar stuff
My mom wants to buy a Tesla but it's not available where I live
I think somebody here liked to watch Top Gear
Hi RE, That was really valuable information. Thanks for the video.
Why not sawdust? If you wanna make a battery dirt cheap, gotta make it from available green materials.
we just need asteroid mining and find the appropriate asteroids … problem solved.
for alterniative storage methods just use lemons
Why hasn’t Tesla slapped a solar panel on their roof yet. I know it wouldn’t existence the range by much, and I know that it couldn’t fully charge it without plugging in; but, if nothing else, it would be a cool gimmick. And it might be able to extend the range up to 350 miles on a sunny day.
The only way for Tesla (and apple and google) to effect the mining practices in the DRC is to stop buying from them. This would essentially starve their economy (and their citizens along with it) into making changes. This is obviously not a great solution.
Would it be cheaper to build more reverse pump hydroelectric systems. Now, they only use them when there are 2 conveniently located lakes, but would it be cheaper to just dig the lakes?
Eating and eating until we exhaust it all one day
Regardless of your position these all draw resources from our water and ground and through laziness, lack of planning, lack of concern greed and accident they ALL poison our air and water. It’s one thing to say the emissions pollute, but very few “emissions/spills” into our drinking water will do more damage in far less time.
The elephant in the room?….. an enormous number of people all wanting, needing or desiring their own car (powered by whatever) to get around in. You talk about % and # in needed resources to supply the demand. The “demand” is the elephant in the room.
Li battery design must be engineered with a higher priority for recycling: or the recycling systems should standardized…. and/or anode/cathode barrier simplification.
"… no cost-effective way, so far…: that changes from year to year (e.g. seawater> lithium). JFF, harvesting H3/tritium from the moon…
The best energy storage system is abundant and incredibly cheap and amazingly energy dense, 24MJ/kg compared to Li-Ion batteries 0.6MJ/kg. It's called COAL.
Tesla 4680 batteries are cobalt-free, Nickel-Manganese.
Soon we will go back to horses
so you mean : we are f**ked up ?
We knew that 30 years ago, actually 🙁
LETS ENJOY
One of the best presentation video i have ever came across. Great reach and solid presentation. I need to learn the way you write the script for your presentation
