Looks nice. But I keep worrying about the cost and availability of the necessary raw materials to make many millions of batteries that will be needed in the future.  For sure company is going to have to come up with an economical way to recycle old battery metals, compounds and chemicals. It would be smart if the gigafactories devoted some of their space to recycling.
