[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16202241, member: 181885"] Film capacitors are about as clean as you can get but they aren't good for this type of application. Fast charge/discharge and that's about it. Any -hydride battery is horrible for the environment both during production and in waste form. I need to reconnect with some of my old colleagues who jumped ship to work for Tesla during the 2011-2014 recruitment/poaching blitz. Tesla was poaching all of the best engineers they could. I even worked with them a few times. Very smart people that started out not knowing squat about automotive design/manufacturing, learning it through the "crash course" method. (meaning, they were blank slate in the beginning days, "yeah that's cool, I'm cool with it" was often heard in review meetings, then they transitioned into being more strict and analytical of mfg processes). It's actually a shame if Tesla isn't doing that well, because now they KNOW what they're doing manufacturing-wise. They actually embraced a lot of technology that other OEMs are nervous about.
