Will the Tesla Motors giga battery factory get its graphite from China, and if so, will it impose high environmental standards or will it use graphite that's mined the highly polluting way it is now ?
In video of a conference the first of februari in Oslo (Elon Musk in Oslo 01.02.2014 - YouTube - can't find the exact question anymore) Elon mentions they plan to write a report in which they prove, with numbers, that we shouldn't be worried about the ecological footprint of the production and usage of a Model S. I'm really looking forward to that: which materials are used in the production of the Model S, how are these materials mined and produced, and how does this whole process compare to the reduction of co2 emission ?
