<thread> Tesla & #Lithium - a decade in the making
A lithium refinery has been in Tesla & Elon Musk’s @elonmusk thinking for ~10 yrs now & in (a serious way) for the best part of 3 yrs
The logic is sound
2020: 70-80% of lithium ion battery costs are raw materials
2010: 20-30%

Tesla has filed to build a lithium hydroxide refining facility in Texas (Gulf Coast).
This is a revisiting of its 2020 plan to build a spodumene conversion facility to make lithium hydroxide at #GigaTexas
Originally planned to launch Q4 2022.

This #GigaTexas lithium refinery would have been using a new hydromet process, as not to be reliant on sulphuric acid.
Our estimation was a smaller refinery to start with 15,000 tpa lithium hydroxide. Could now be 25,000tpa

BREAKING: @ArgoAI and @Ford say they plan to launch self-driving vehicles (with safety drivers) on the @Lyft network beginning in Miami before the end of 2021. #Robotaxis #SelfDrivingCars #AutonomousVehicles @VWGroup
In a statement, @Ford, its associate @ArgoAI and #ridehailing service provider @Lyft say "the parties are now working to finalize agreements aiming to deploy at least 1,000 autonomous vehicles on the Lyft network, across multiple markets over the next five years."
As part of the deal, @Lyft will join @Ford and @VWGroup as an @ArgoAI shareholder. The #ridehailing service company will receive 2.5% of the common equity as part of the licensing and data access agreements to collaborate on the safe commercialization of #AutonomousVehicles.

Elon agradece o comunicado.
Minha opinião:
Uma fábrica da Tesla no Texas é bem provável, como reportei no episódio 158.
Mas relocação da sede administrativa da empresa da CA para o TX é bem mais complicado.
