Not to mention they employ batteries fabricated with toxic chemicals. It’s going to be tragic watching folks try to figure out how to safely dispose of these batteries 20 years from now. Not to mention the carbon that will be emitted to make them in the first place.

This has improved since 2019 (when that article was written) and now all Tesla batteries are recycled[1][2].
