Tesla, both EV's and Storage, are going to be miniscule but not irrelevant in the overall picture for the demand for lithium. Elon is waking up the world to the major disruptive technology going on. Www.TonySeba.com Soon we will have 500 mile range fully EV automobiles, then watch the other car mfg's take notice. http://www.pv-tech.org/news/gtm-tes...orage-sales-to-solarcity-could-be-bigger-than

Batteries in the Future Speaking to the challenges that batteries pose in the overall equation, Elon shared how the brightest minds in history have struggled to increase the capacity and density of batteries but are basically fighting against the laws of thermodynamics … even going so far as to say that improving battery technology is one of the most difficult problems we have been faced with. The Tesla approach to cracking the nut of battery price equation is to centralize everything, bringing in loads of raw materials and having finished packs coming out as the products … in short, the Gigafactory. Centralizing everything maximizes economies of scale, while at the same time cutting out non-value-add transportation and warehousing, which, when talking about something as heavy as batteries and raw lithium, can add up quickly. You can view the full talk, discussion, and Q&A with Elon … which is one of the best discussions in the last few months … here. There is a brief intro, with Elon coming on around minute 18. It’s worth noting that the video didn’t play for me in Chrome but worked fine in Safari and Firefox (c’mon, Google, what’s up with that?!). Tesla’s Elon Musk hints at cheaper, smaller EV after Model 3 shar.es/1e0VnB via @renew_economy NOTE: RAW MATERIALS IN ONE END BATTERIES OUT THE OTHER Will Bacanora just ship clay to Elon let them refine to lithium carbonate? . This is what we have been saying all along, now Elon says it himself.
