I guess you would get upset about discussion involving the Jaguar iPace in the ‘General Automotive Chat > Electric Vehicles’  section also, or is this more about ‘denial’ issues you seem to suffer from?.

The Sami people do not want the environment they live in destroyed by mining for copper.

 

Maybe manufacturers should only be able to build using the minerals and metals they can get from recycling those already mined and be green by clearing up the worlds waste.

Buying cheap and costing the environment lots is taking the pith.

As for the other legacy car makers well… it’d help if they could at the very least fully commit to going all-electric for all their models by a certain date. Currently most of them – at best – offer a date for “electrification” (read mostly hybrids). While hybrids aren’t bad per say, it’s also clear this isn’t what the future will be and that they’re an intermediate stepping stone technology that has largely already passed.

 

No, the future of legacy manufacturers (besides VW) is looking about as bright as Nokia’s future was around 2009. That is to say, the writings going up on the wall. Sure, they’re big, sure they’re the leaders in sales currently and yes they have a long financial runway, so this wont happen overnight.

 

It is actually now quite questionable whether or not they can even pull off the transition through this disruption of not just all-electric cars, but the disruption of the rebirth of cars from the “mechanical” era to the “high tech” era. The race is now on to see if they can take their massively inferior business model and navigate the rapid evolution before those coffers run bare.

 

From where I’m sitting… it’s going to be a bloodbath.
