It appears that Mr. Musk has some splanin' to do. Not only is he killing thousands of small children forced to mine the materials needed for his electric car batteries, but he has also contracted with a Russian company for the aluminum used to make the castings for the Model Y, leaving the woke Tesla owners with a quandary, destroy the vehicle in protest or leave the country for the safety of Cuba.
"In late 2020, Tesla began procuring aluminum from Rusal, the Russian metals giant founded by sanctioned oligarch Oleg Deripaska, according to invoices obtained by CNBC. The company was not under US sanctions when Tesla began buying from it.
The aluminum can be used, among other things, for casting, to make body shells for the Tesla Model Y, and has been used in production trials on new manufacturing lines at the Tesla plant in Brandenburg, Germany."
