Ummm, mining is done with huge machines that run on hydrocarbons...not with little black children with shovels. This is not 1923. Why do you even bother with the lying corporate press? You can't figure out that they are screwing with you?

Lithium battery technology is only being improved on the margins mostly with better manufacturing technology. The volumetric and gravimetric energy density is about maxed out for safety, durability and reliability. Tesla took 9 years to develop a next-gen battery and only managed a bigger cell that is tabless. That should tell you something.
You recycle the battery pack just like anything else...You freeze it with liquid nitrogen and then pulverize it.
