Well, when you use third world countries to provide cheap materials and cheap labor you have to keep them poor and helpless.

Thus, you keep the supply chain extremely fragile.
But, if you want to sell your Tesla for $70k instead of $140k, that is what you have to do.
Rape the rest of the world.

But, if you didn't. Electric cars would only be a luxury good for the extremely rich.
And TPTshouldn'tB want everyone in easily controlled electric vehicles.
So, all the MSmockingbirdM has to report the green-ness of electric vehicles and bury all the real facts.

Like, we don't produce enough copper to make electric cars for everyone.
Nor do we mine enough cobalt, nickel and lithium.

Maybe Komifornia could allow lithium mining in their state... then they could have their dream of a "green" future.
