Meh. The article made some good points, but crossed over into bashing too often to be trustworthy. The last straw for me was the bit at the end about the environmental impact of lithium mining, and how we should look at "greener alternatives". <i>What greener alternatives</i>? What else is going to provide sufficient energy storage for cars, other than liquid fuels - and doesn't also have a negative impact?<p>Likewise, complaining that EVs use fossil electricity is shortsighted. We are rapidly approaching a point where solar electricity is cheaper than fossil electricity. Once that happens, EVs <i>will</i> be completely clean. Do we wait for a decade of research, experiments, and failures until after we have sufficiently clean electricity?<p>There are certainly good arguments that Tesla stock is overpriced, and that Tesla won't be able to generate sufficient returns as competition catches up. But right now, competition is not catching up.
