Seems I might’ve been office step doesn’t leave China as hydroxide then.
It’s actually really crazy but your green vehicle battery has to go from Australia to China to Japan to Nevada just to got one more place for final assembly.
Agreed on the if-ever. There is a lot my company is forced to do outside of the US and given the costs, we would never break even with buying from China, literally never.
- panick21_ 5y agoJust to be clear, it leaves as hydroxide to Japan or Korea mostly. > It’s actually really crazy but your green vehicle battery has to go from Australia to China to Japan to Nevada just to got one more place for final assembly. And then might get delivered back to Australia or Britain or whatever. This is also why one of Musk major focus on Battery Day was 'how far does a battery atom have to travel' is a major measure of success for them.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoAh, gotcha! > And then might get delivered back to Australia or Britain or whatever. Man, aluminum bugs me for that. Australia to China to Iceland to China to USA as some “fancy” case for landfill electronics at Walmart.
