A lot of concern about automation replacing jobs. Will Tesla's factories (auto and giga) continue to grow # of employees despite the robots?

Logistics: Australia supplies 40% of worlds lithium but it is shipped to China as a 6% concentrate = 94% waste on each boat!

Nah man, the labor and environmental compliance concerns are way cheaper in China, shipping bulk raw materials by sea is super cheap
