The mining of cobalt and lithium is absolutely terrible for the environment. They're just pushing the pollution up stream in the supply chain. No one wants these cars.

It's not something to agree or disagree on.
It's happening, it will happen.
Also, mining cobalt and lithium is bad for environment, but not nearly as bad as hundreds of millions of cars constantly putting exhaust gas in the air. Not even a percent of that. If you don't believe me, get in a garage, close the door, and turn on your engine. It's really not that great. Or, you can just pickup an elementary school science textbook to learn about greenhouse effect.
And 'no one wants these cars'? Seriously? Seems like you're getting your science & market news from political outlets.
