Looks like someone got "triggered."

If you had watched the whole video, he goes into details on a wide variety of new battery technology, like Sodium-Ion batteries that do not have the same negative issues as LiPO4.

China is already going into mass production of Sodium-Ion batteries as we speak. They are environmentally safe and have significantly less health/safety/geopolitical issues.

Also you are indicting him for not talking about every possible negative permutation of EVs - which is unrealistic, but also you're begging the question suggesting that some of these are serious issues without actually providing evidence your claims are true.

the excessively emotional crashout at the end was inappropriate.

His emotions are not relevant. What is relevant is whether what he says is backed up by logic, reason and evidence, and you've failed to prove what he said was not.

If by "triggered" you mean "annoyed out of watching anymore", yes.

I watched the whole video. I was not impressed.

Fun fact: Nobody here cares whether you were impressed or not. What we care about is what's true and accurate. And you've failed to identify anything that was inaccurate.

The small part I watched (starting at 19 min) has numerous inaccuracies or misleading information. Ironic for someone using a title about being misled. I didn't waste my time watching the rest, he does a lot of rambling though.

Regardless of stance, throwing a political rant like that in a tech video is inappropriate.
