Outside of the Covid 19 Plandemic Scam, this is the biggest Scam unleashed onto Society !!!
I don’t care if you want to drive an Electric Vehicle, just quit pounding your chest like you are saving the World !!! You are not doing any such thing !!! Even if 90 % of what is written below is false, it’s nowhere near being a problem solver to the Climate Scam…..
This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car. To manufacture it you need:
–12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
— 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
— 3 tons nickel ore
— 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
— 26.5 pounds of Lithium
— 30 pounds of nickel
— 48.5 pounds of manganese
— 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
— 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
— 112 pounds of graphite
The Caterpillar 994K is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 430 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.
The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most.
The 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $3,500 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:
Model 3 — $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y — $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S — $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X — $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)
It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all gains made.
Lastly, the amount of energy required to process the raw materials and the amount of energy used to haul these batteries to the U.S.
But by all means, get an electric car. Just stop trying to force me to under the guise that it helps our world or other humans when it clearly doesn’t.
