Tesla is introducing a battery that will last one million miles. Will be announced in September. Also, Tesla is planning to recycle batteries at its gigafactories. The old batteries represent a "high grade ore" that can be used as a source for Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, etc.

Gas powered cars are history in the medium term.
