Well, at least if you buy a Tesla, you’re not supporting big oil companies like Exxon — oh wait…

“Oil major Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) is in talks with Tesla (TSLA.O), Ford Motor (F.N), Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) and other automakers to supply lithium, Bloomberg Law reported on Monday citing people familiar with the matter.”

    80% of the US population is urban. The other 20% doesn’t matter because even if you ignore them entirely you’ve still solved 80% of the problem, and that’s plenty good enough.

      @grue I’m not sure about the 80%. I suspect this includes “sub-urban” (where I live). Suburbanites usually do not have work/shopping in walking distance.

        That’s literally the whole problem the thread you’re replying to started with. The way land is wasted for cars. Stop thinking about whether or not it is possible to replace cars. What needs to change is that we build a world around cars that cannot sustain itself.
