Too little too late since the cobalt price has already quadrupleed.
Thats good the tesla battery only requires 10% of the slave mined element.
They had to use less cobalt because there isn't enough to keep making batteries the same way and making way more of them.
Someone is going to have to take the risk and open a new mine, which is great for the environment or their needs to be a battery tech shift like kind of like the shift away from nickel.
