Whilst there is a trivial debate going on here between a fewposters, the rest of the EV and Battery World is not standing still!!

Tesla continues to drag the rest of the world into its vision for the future.Now having acquired the land in China, Tesla has begun the groundwork forbuilding another battery and EV gigafactory! The Tesla model 3 is provingmore successful than most envisaged. The "Performance" model is beingtaken by some owners virtually straight from purchase to the race track, and beating performance carsthat cost hundreds of thousands of dollars! 0 to 100kph in just 3.5seconds and a top speed of 250kph! That is jolly amazing for a high quality street car that is also such a pleasure to drive, cheap to run, non-polluting and super quiet and cost US$69,000!!!

But this news article released just 2 days ago, 13/11/18, has many people veryexcited. Tesla is on the verge of producing a new and improved battery forEV and Energy storage that is "actually lighter, better, cheaper!"Currently Tesla batteries cost about $116 a kilowatt. This new battery willapproach Tesla's goal of $100kw. EVs will become cheaper, lighter and theirrange will increase! Tesla home, business and grid Energy storage will also become cheaper andmore efficient!

By staying ahead of the market, Tesla forces the other vehicle, Energy and Battery makers to try and catch up and improve their products!

This all adds to the unprecedented demands for natural Graphite from 2020 onwards! Graphite demand is also expected to greatly increase in other industries as well. A whole range of industries will be vying for natural Graphite, and this is good news for Volt!

The whole world is moving towards EVs and home, business and grid battery storage. This movement is unstoppable and gaining momentum every month!

Volt is aiming to be a Graphite producer by the end of 2019. This will placeit in the right place, the right market and supplying the right product to takeadvantage of this huge demand for natural Graphite! For those who continue tohave the faith and the patience, the rewards may be massive with a much highersp during 2019!


Musk stated:
“We came up with a new battery design that achieves thesame outcome, that’s actually lighter, better, cheaper and will be introducingthat around the end of this year, probably reach volume production on that inQ1 2019 or something. That will make the cars lighter, better, and cheaper andachieve a higher range. That line is under construction, it will be active in aboutsix months.”

Incredibly the Tesla Model 3 is currently the number 1 car by sales revenue in the USA! It is the number 1 luxury car currently being sold in the USA! It is the 5th highest selling car in the USA overall when considering much cheaper cars! And those sales are increasing each month!!! But what is even more surprising is that Tesla turned a profit of US$312 million ($516 million non-GAAP) during the quarter!!! These facts are making the whole world take notice and is inspiring the other EV manufactures to catch up!

(My opinions. DYOR!)
