    resulting in Wh/kg increasing by 6 to 10 times and $/Wh dropping about 99%.

    And yet, a Tesla model S costs $10,000 more than 2012.

      Tesla, the company run by a nazi capitalist and which has a value so inflated it’s amazing it hasn’t imploded under its own weight, raises it’s prices and you’re blaming batteries? You do know that every saving a corporation makes goes towards profits and that they never lower their prices as long as people are buying(and even then, they refuse to most of the time)?

      There’s correlation not equalling causation and then there’s whatever the hell this is. Like one of the final bosses of that logical fallacy.

      I’ll take out of context quotes for $100, Alex.

      Those changes are over 40 years, only 13 years of which apply to your reference, and include only one component of a luxury vehicle. Also, the current base price for a Tesla Model S that it showed me was $150k. If we apply inflation to $140k since 2012 ($150k minus the $10k you said), we get a value of $197k. So, $47k cheaper in 2025 dollars.

      I suppose you blame battery prices for why McDonalds costs more, too?
