ICE vs Electric CO2 emission comparison
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYv5EDej/…- Until a battery can be made w/o requiring large inefficient size, amounts of rare materials... apples to apples ICE still better for emissionsprophetone
- Especially if you really do a old for environment and run a car for 500k or buy exiting used cars...prophetone
- One day though when car battery is a hydrogen dark matter baseball that never needs charging, electric will be the better optionprophetone
- Tricky though b/c we need to get through this stage of large and inefficient car tech to get to the smaller, low impact, efficient, more powerful techprophetone

- The only way we are going to get to a battery doesn't require rare materials is if we support electric vehicles now. Otherwise we are stuck with fossil fuels.microkorg
- It's only electric car manufacturers that are going to research into and finance these batteries of the future. Shell isn't.microkorg

"A unique uncontacted tribe could be wiped out by a massive Indonesian project to produce nickel for electric car batteries.
A vast mining scheme on the island of Halmahera is part of Indonesia’s plan to become a major producer of electric car batteries – a plan into which Tesla and other companies are pouring billions of dollars.
But nickel mining is set to destroy vast areas of the forested interior of Halmahera. These forests are inhabited by 300-500 uncontacted members of the Hongana Manyawa tribe. If mining goes ahead as planned, they will not survive the destruction."

With all the money Musk has, he could hire word’s top car designers and make cars on way higher level design wise.
As I observe them on the streets for a while now, I think more and more that Elon did the concept sketches and had anyone who suggested anything different shot in front of the designers. It seem to me the cars are like something that Elon would design. Or something that is designed like Elon. They have everything but class, style, emotion, statement. Those cars just look so generic. If tested I would probably think it’s Hyundai or Kia. He could really hire the best one or the best one hundred industrial designers in the world.- I think putting the best 100 designers together would be a fucking disaster. Can you imagine the flouncy diva tantrums. Automotive designers are the worst.Morning_star

fisheye,
It's so funny you posted that. Last week, I heard someone comment on how dated the Tesla design is already. Once they said that, every time I saw one I couldn't unsee it. I've always been indifferent to them and probably enjoyed the interior and the digital UI than the outside, from the few times I've been in Uber's that were Teslas.
But now I find it crazy that they haven't redesigned the cars AT ALL. Every one on the road feels like a design that's a decade old.
- I guess everyone sees the UI part of the car, including me. I wonder what would be an outcome if the designer Lesnik from Mercedes Benz would be involved...fisheye

- Wouldnt buy a tesla for the looks. Would be buying it for the supercharger network and associated tech.microkorg
- The electric Mercedes look like trash. A new tesla design is coming soon, there are leaked photos online.Frosty_spl
- @Frosty The point is elsewhere.fisheye
- Why would a redesign be needed? Just for the novelty? Innovation never sleeps?
Redesigning is just part of the market model.palimpsest - There are finally a few decent-looking EV's, but until recently the S was the nicest, by far, looking EV on the market.formed
- Tesla has been super smart - unique designs gives them a brand presence, even if most aren't that good looking (stll better than crap like the Mustang E).formed
- If sustainability is part of the brand a sustainable design is one that doesn't need to be updated every year.palimpsest
