I mean, he's right to keep it to the US mainland. The water free lithium mining could be had in the Carolinas and up in Utah they've sorta started. And the used up batteries would be 100 pst ore that's already found so that's a year over year growth.
A single Tesla battery (weighing 1,000 pounds) requires extracting and processing some 500,000 pounds of materials. At this rate, over the next 30 years, we will need to mine more mineral ores than humans have extracted over the last 70,000 years.
He is correct and wrong. Ev batteries weigh between 900-1800 pounds. The hummer ev I believe gets near 3000. Really depends on its potential range. Which you Elonbots full well know. And yes lithium is the 25th most plentiful mineral in earth. It also requires tons of water to be wasted and/or contaminated during mining. But those are poor dirt countries that do that so as long you don’t see it doesn’t exist right?
Everyone needs to look into the cobalt mines in the Congo. Lots of child labor, slavery, and starvation along with extreme toxicity of the cobalt they risking there lives for everyday
He should have said something along the lines of: It’s hard to find a rock that doesn’t have Lithium in it, in fact the name lithium comes from the latin name for Rock.
Elon: (I’m not lying) *giggles “It’s everywhere” (Don’t mention how hard it is to extract usable Lithium) *giggles “It’s in sea water” (they are buying my lies) *giggles
It's a 1% ore mineral. 100tones have to be dug up for one tonne. Not to mention the big spiral whole covering dozens of football fields to get to it. Meanwhile an oil derrick the size of a tennis court. Plus how many dead Africans per tonne of cobalt?
We could try sanctions on the Congo, probably won't achieve much though. It's definitely a problem that needs solving to be sure. Hardly a problem brought about by Tesla though, all tech companies rely on it and you can only get it from one place.
@@PhilboDraggins The man with the greatest moustache called out the Canadian silver mining town that had to get rid of the stuff to get to the silver. ruclips.net/video/NMxvjrZQTTk/видео.html Guess what, the town is called Cobalt. The mayor thinks they should start looking into it.
He is right. Lithium is more plentiful than lead, the material we have been using in batteries FOR THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS without running out. We are not going to stop making electric cars because of a lithium shortage.
But what about cobalt ??? Cobalt is essential to lithium ion batteries. More than 70 percent of the world’s cobalt is produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and 15 to 30 percent of the Congolese cobalt is produced by artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). For years, human rights groups have documented severe human rights issues in mining operations. These human rights risks are particularly high in artisanal mines in the DRC, a country weakened by violent ethnic conflict, Ebola, and high levels of corruption. Child labor, fatal accidents, and violent clashes between artisanal miners and security personnel of large mining firms are recurrent.
A Lithium car battery fire took Firemen 4 hours to extinguish it using 2,500 gallons of water; 5 Fire Engines; 1 water tender; 2 Fire Battalion Chiefs & 1 Hazmat Officer. They had to turn the vehicle on its side to access the lithium battery to put the fire out & cool the battery. China lost 50 EV buses in one fell swoop, because they all caught fire in a parking garage. The garage & house can catch on fire if an EV car is charging in the garage & sparks. It was an EV lithium all electric battery that caused the fire which sank an entire car carrier ship in the Atlantic. During the northern CA wildfires, PG&E shut the power off for a week so no one could charge their Teslas-unless they were able to use a gas-powered generator. Some EVs that were abandoned (because they weren’t able to charge them) caught on fire from the wildfires. They’re a life-threatening danger re/ evacuations because a Level 2 EV charge takes 8 hours to charge. How are you going to quickly evacuate when PG&E shuts the power off for a week? Lithium smoke is toxic and burns bright pink. Replacing a Tesla car battery costs $20,000 to $30,000.
T he concern is Li battery fires burn far hotter, and longer. The existing fire department equipment actually cannot extinguisher the Li battery fire. They can easily and quickly put out gasoline vehicle fires. Safety and ability to extinguish fires is a significant risk. Remember the batteries that got banned from aircraft?! Yeah... the risks are significant. You better hope the fire dept responding to your car accident has special equipment to put out a ev fire. (Most don't have equipment yet)
I appreciate a lot of this info but a tesla battery only costs like 12k not 20-30. It used to cost that much. Also I’m a hazmat officer, a gas car is way more likely to explode or burst into flames.
I don’t think these people understand what the DRC is going through to supply all these battery companies with there minerals to make teslas. Phones. TVs. Everything essential in todays life. The people of the Congo has the highest child labor rate in the world and the cobalt there mining is extremely toxic and they have 0 protection from it
Switch to Sodium Ion batteries, Elon! They are cheaper, better for the environment, recharge in about 20 minutes, do not catch on fire. You lose chage density of about 80%. But a Tesla that recharges on 110 in 20 minutes, doesn't catch on fire, doesn't have reduced range in cold temps and has a range of 320 vs. 400 miles all for less money would be a winner. PS: VW is launching a Sodium Ion car this year.
GOOGLE: What metal is better than lithium for batteries? Zinc-ion batteries use zinc ions instead of lithium ions to store and release energy. They are considered a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries because zinc is abundant, low-cost, and environmentally friendly. Zinc-ion batteries are also more stable than lithium-ion batteries and have a longer lifespan. -Mar 24, 2023
That was strangely vague considering he’s a “genius”. Lithium is everywhere , as is oil but there is a nasty process to extract lithium that can be used for power . This process destroys habitat and produces pollution.
A new mining company, out of Canada (Max Power Mining), is about to destroy the Willcox Playa in southeastern Arizona, with a Lithium mine. This region already suffers from drought conditions, and there is a wildlife preserve right next door. Not to mention that there are people residing in the area. Please help Arizonans to stop this mine from being set up in the Willcox Playa. Thank you!
Missing the point a bit. Yes there is loads of lithium, it’s processing the stuff that’s causing catastrophic damage. 2.2 million litres of water to produce one ton.
the energy to reduce lithium, a literal alkaline metal, from those kinds of compounds, is more of a problem than sourcing lithium itself. yall remember when aluminum was more expensive than gold until they found the bayer process?
Yes it's everywhere, in tiny quantities. To get enough you have to rake the earth smash open rocks, build retention ponds with poisonous chemicals to separate it from other things it binds with like normal salt water
Sure, traces of lithium are everywhere. Concentrations of lithium expectable at a reasonable price is not, and the EPA and local groups don’t want their mountain dug up. If we had Oblivion sea extractors and didn’t care about the sea we’d have tons of lithium. Now do cobalt.
This is the thing that boggles my mind: with how much people shill electric vehicles, (not naming names) they don't seem to know where the energy to charge their electric vehicle comes from. Now, riddle me this. How the fuck do you charge an electric battery? With fossil fuel generated energy. In very few places would it be charged by wind or solar. So basically, we're not helping the environment very much by driving electric vehicles. In some ways, we're harming it even more because as many people have pointed out, lithium mining. extraction is a very arduous, costly process that harms the ecosystem, not too different from oil. Also, the fumes emitted from the extraction are incredibly toxic to inhale. To top it all off, there's human rights violations committed to obtain the lithium necessary for the battery. And what's the payoff? We're mining for a mineral substance that harms the ecosystem, doesn't fully replace fossil fuels, emits toxic fumes when extracted from it's natural forms, and basically requires slave labor to maintain a Tesla's outlandish but not ungodly price.
Bro forgot about the water contamination, endangerment of local aquatic animals, the harm to anyone’s health within 200 miles of the mining site and not to mention the millions that die mining it 💔 (I’m running a campaign to implicate water filtration systems with lithium mining if anyone’s interested)
Hydrogen is extremely plentiful as well... 2/3 of every water molecule consists of Hydrogen and the Earth is 2/3 covered in water.... But that doesn't make it readily available to us, same goes for lithium....

Elon trying to drive down the Lithium prices - it is there but try and extract it and bring it to market ! For the Re odd I Love Elon but he needs cheaper batteries !
Like Libya 🇱🇾 Mr Musk, like the rest of Africa, I have seen some mines in Africa where people work in terrible conditions, mining lithium!!! You know exactly what I am talking about!
there's something called concentration and deposits. There's billions of tons of gold in sea water but there's no way you can extract it at the cost of current gold prices.
Guess what Elon, Gold is everywhere as well, it is even in all sea water. The issue with lithium is the way it is dispersed. It is never mined in high concentrations because while it is plentiful it doesn’t exist in reasonable concentration as to make it “green”. If you have to mine 100,000 lbs. to 500,000 pound of the earths crust for one battery powered vehicle well…….interestingly enough, fresh water use and colossal strip mines were the bane of all environmentalists 25 years ago and now that we are pushing EV’s, strip mines and gross water waste is LOVED by the greenies. Who’d have thunk that!😮
Another point about mining ⛏️ the mineral deposits I want to make! So fossile fuel lobbies talk about the amount of carbon needed to dig up and get the deposits. Well even if they did give a fuk I want to point out it's where they are spewing the carbon that also matters! Typically where u mine there aren't schools filled with children or neighborhoods with pregnant women! Plus once fussion can be our main source of nuclear energy the process of recycling the lithium should be way way way faster!
Yea petrol was alot too on this earth until everyone used it up and now its drying and everyone is turning to evs *aka lithium battery car* which will also lead to shortage of lithium in the next 20 years or so
If it's everywhere open lithium mines in New York, Chicago, London, LA etc. It will create plenty of jobs. Oh wait it's because of the environmental destruction and extraction that makes it so difficult. Then again if they did open one in New York I don't think anyone would be an electric car ever again
Imagine if you would for a minute if Nikolai Tesla had the Internet and the things he can say and teach us. But don’t get me wrong the Elon Musk is a genius but just imagine what Nikolai would’ve taught us if it had never been stolen by the US government
Yeah very plentiful even though the price of lithium is going up and Tesla’s using cheaper batteries for their cars. Why would they if lithium is plentiful? But once a Tesla battery dies then you literally can’t do anything with it. It’s not recyclable. Gas cars are not going anywhere lol
Amazing that these "brilliant minds" never think things will run out? If we keep sucking out water, oil and minerals etc earth will be imploding like that Titan Sub😢
