Good Morning Port A Family and Friends

02/13/2024

Water Towner-----I'm my 77 years on this earth, I have learned that when the Lord calls us home, we will go. No one can stop it. We have one life to live. The material things we invest in are left behind. Memories therefore, are important.
So, I'm going to start a "reunion of friends". The idea is to see who reads a post without a picture. If no one reads my post, this will be a very short experiment. But if you are reading this message, make a comment using a single word about how we met. After that COPY this message on your wall and I will also leave you a word. Please, don't leave a word and then not bother doing the second thing. Let’s go! My friends are important to me, especially right now! Now it is your turn.

This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car.
To manufacture it you need:
--12 tons of rock to extract the Lithium
-- 5 tons of rock to obtain the cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of the processing of copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult material to obtain for a battery and the most expensive.)
-- 3 tons of nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
-- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite
The Caterpillar 994A is used for the earthmoving to obtain the essential minerals. It consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.
Finally you get a “zero emissions” car.
Presently, the bulk of the necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labour for extracting the minerals in Africa is done by children. If we buy electric cars, it's China who profits most!
This 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet on the USA for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost).
The cost to replace Tesla batteries is:
Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)
It takes SEVEN years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the batteries is 10 years (average).
Only in the last three years do you begin to reduce your carbon footprint. Then the batteries have to be replaced and you lose all the gains you made in those three years.
In addition electric cars are heavier than cars powered by internal combustion engines and cause more wear and tare on tyres, bridges and roads. They also increase the demand for electricity much of which in countries like China and India is generated by coal-fired power stations.
Are Teslas and other similar electric cars really that green?
