I was absolutely wrong about recycling aluminium in my last report on zero emissions and the car industry. I did claim in that report that recycling aluminium (as opposed to manufacturing it from bauxite, the ore) doesn’t really save you that much CO2/energy. That was categorically wrong.

Ahh yes, Tesla makes a profit. Technically. Five quarters in a row, now. I said they sold their cars at a loss, which they do. Back in July Tesla hit the milestone of four quarters of consecutive profit, which allowed it to join the S&P 500. But Tesla cannot post a profit from the sales of its cars. If Tesla just made money selling cars, Tesla would be routinely losing money. Save thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contact AutoExpert discount roadside assist...
