Not at all. The batteries in these new cars/products are not meant to last more than 10 years. Tesla is a total scam of a company propped up with California GOV grants and massive tax subsidies..ask any financial analyst.

I don't disagree - I follow Mariana Mazzucato's point, that most American innovation is government invented or funded - but that has essentially nothing to do with my point here. Batteries are replaceable and will be routinely replaced and recycled, like any consumable.

You are right about American innovation being mostly gov funded. But I urge you to do research into Tesla battery cells. They are 100% not easily replaceable and Tesla has NEVER even released the information / battery content on them is highly classified. They also use tamper proof technology/tamper proof screws like apple so that they cannot be changed by a 3rd party or individual. Tesla also does NOT allow anyone to do repairs on their vehicles. ONLY Tesla can repair used or broken vehicles. It's highly controversial if you look into it.
