How Tesla Is Opening Their Own Mining Operation!

[@ryanmarshall4741]

I want to thank you for having a very good pace of video. It’s fast enough to keep things interesting but slow enough that you actually take time to read what reports you’re displaying or give the watcher enough time to absorb what you’re showing - it’s annoying when other channels will quickly flash their visual aid on the screen and you have to go back and pause the video on a specific frame to see it long enough. Oh, and right up front on the video you give credit where credit is due - in this case NY times.

[@markattwood6245]

Great to see a video that goes into more depth about the mechanics, politics and history of a key area of EV’s - hope you can continue to bring more of this type of information to your channel.

[@DanielDavies-StellularNebulla]

This video was based on a New York Times article, so most of the work was done for them. Wouldn't expect *too* many vids of this qualify here. This is more a news channel.

[@salczar]

Great episode! You are the only one covering this topic as far as I know.

[@owd200]

First time I've heard of this at all, and I follow a lot Tesla news. I knew about the lithium mining they're trying but nothing about nickel.

[@erikehlert]

@@owd200 And to that point, Tesla has said nothing lately about their lithium mining plans as far as I know. Last thing I heard, they had patented a game changing method to process lithium clay. And then, silence. Have you heard any details?

[@youxkio]

Excellent lesson. It is true. Companies either go horizontal by distributing marketing operations internationally or go transnational by getting their resources and supply chains to complete independence from other companies.

[@rioriggs3568]

How people are not 100% invested in Tesla blows my mind every single minute of every day. Great info.

[@bobdickweed]

" invested in Tesla" what do you mean ?

Great video. I've worked with electro nickel for 40 years and it's very versatile creating useful and controlled properties for turbines and motors. It's also quite toxic. I'm sureTesla is a great company to manage appropriate mining practices. Will be watchibg closely. Makes a lot of sense..

This is your best video yet! I’ve watched it twice, so far.

[@predawn2620]

Great insight into Nickel. So few Tesla KZbinrs covering battery materials and mining/ processing, most metals are breaking ATHs & are in a supply shortage plus theirs higher costs due to energy, transportation, etc Even if we secure lithium, nickel, iron, manganese for the cathode- Graphite is irreplaceable as the Anode* Alot of KZbinrs project millions of EVs but have no videos on the battery supply chain or include it in their forecasts. If you keep covering these your channel will grow very fast. Cheers!

Very informative. Vertical integration for the win.

[@alexmilligan6789]

This was fantastic!!! Thank you

[@keylime2998]

Great video. Seems like the middleman costs can shift to the more expensive process. As Tesla works with Prodigy to improve methods, hopefully this will go down. In an interview Elon talked about analyzing production costs to bring them as close to raw materials as possible. This is part of that strategy.

[@dan92677]

excellent instructional ! Thank you ! More, if possible!!!

[@RuedigerDrischel]

Correct assessment about control of all processes, vertical integration.

I knew about the lithium mine in Nevada. I didn't know about New Caledonia. It has the potential to be a win-win-win: win for Tesla, win for New Caledonia, and a win for the environment.

[@frerikslaw]

Report is excellent and Tesla business model plan has huge advantage over all other car companies

[@RexAlfieLee]

Conversion of the massive trucks to electrical would be a good start & then the actual factory running on solar would help. Converting the acid base to a safe slurry after being used would allow a properly safe disposal or maybe alternate use. An electrical by hydrogen possibility would work better than batteries there as it is a mostly static infrastructure except for the trucks but they require only a relatively small travel & can be refuelled quickly as opposed to batteries. Again it's a relatively static operation with minimal distances covered just repeated many times per day.

[@sakhi2ya]

Keep up the great content!

[@sonnydayz2118]

I wouldn't mind working at that nickel mine. Looks like a nice place to live.

[@loungelizard836]

Another great, interesting talk. But watching the B-roll is... confusing, to say the least. You constantly show coal and gypsum mines while describing nickel mines.

[@mizzshortie907]

Elon is a mad genius

[@jonathanryan5860]

Thanks, informative, with details that could make understanding difficult, but with a steady pace, and clear, yet detailed narrative, it can be clearly understood. I will be back for more.

[@MetalMonkey9]

Laterites (as Goro) have high-energy requirements to extract low concentrations of nickel from bulk. Smaller footprint, higher grade sulphide deposits represent smarter mining investments...

[@johnthomas5806]

good content coverage...thanks

[@roywells4321]

I guess Mary (GM) will think twice before she tells GM to find out who Tesla's suppliers are and try to order from those suppliers to create a shortage for Tesla. I bet Elon is laughing and saying, "How you like me now!"

[@myxalplyx]

She electrified the ENTIRE nickel mining operations of the world. She led! And it matters.

[@rickytribudianto8356]

For info, new caledonia only has less than 5 percent of nickel reserve check again your source.

[@sunnylowe7307]

Do you think that this kind of vertical integration (last seen in the times of Standard Oil and those monopolies) lends itself to price INCREASES, since the limited available minerals are snapped up by a single company, which will drive everyone else to pay more, and cause all vehicles to go up in cost?

[@Alarix246]

I hoped I could see the clips of actual Goro mine, and I think I saw some of them here, yet, there were clips of other mines as well. So, how can I tell what I actually saw was directly relevant to the story, and what were unrelated clips of some other mines who knows where in the world? Then if I summarize it, my impression is that I am actually not sure what mining operations I actually saw. Which reduces the story to a narration with some haphazard clips with unclear subject. Could the clips be tagged so we know we see the actual Goro mine?

[@bob_frazier]

Sure I want Tesla overseeing mining in foreign countries! But would I trust GM? Or Alphabet? Or Amazon? No.

First time I heard of Tesla's "Vertical Integration Plan" of actually acquiring their Raw materials, for their batteries, internally! Awesome plan....as Tesla's ambition of going from 936,217 cars delivered in 2021 to about 20 million EV's per yr. in 2030 is over 1 order of magnitude of growth. You need your own Supply Chains, to make certain you can make enough batteries, to place in enough vehicles, to reach said goals of production.

[@marcfontana1454]

Tesla and other EV makers have already demonstrated that LFP (lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries that don't use Nickel or Cobalt are a viable battery for EV's. These batteries don't have quite the same energy density as those that use Nickel, but they offer other advantages such as more charging cycles, faster charging, longer usable life AND they are much less likely to cause fires. Tesla should be focusing on advancing LFP batteries for EV's the way many EV makers in China are doing. I lived in New Caledonia for a few of my teenage years. I hope demand for Nickel and the mining for it won't scar this beautiful place beyond repair.

[@erikehlert]

Their stationary packs are going to be LFP, going forward.

[@AndyZach]

Well-made video. I subscribed.

[@Goldsteinphoto]

Great info. Although lithium iron batteries that don't need nickel certainly are doing well.
