Napkin math but...

A Tesla Model 3 with the smallest pack size is 54kWh which is the equivalent of just under 1100 MacBook Air batteries.

In 2017 the global demand for laptops was 161,600,000 units.

Tesla shipped over 900,000 vehicles in 2021 which is the equivalent of 990,000,000 Macbook Airs.

So if laptop demand remained static, in the span of 5 years our annual demand for lithium still saw a six fold increase.

I'm willing to bet it's closer to 10x or 20x increase in demand for lithium. Did we have that much production capacity open up in the same time frame?
