    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.

        It’s not just Musk. All the legacy automakers switched fast to EVs because of the higher profit margins, and have been obfuscating the fact that at recent battery prices, EVs should cost less than ICE. To try and add value, they festoon the vehicles with pointless gadgetry and screens, which of course will all fail long before the battery. By Design.
