Lithium is pretty stable. Those dumbtrucks will rot there for some time, then got reposessed and eventually moved to a recycling plant, and almost all of the lithium will eventually be used for something useful.

They probably won't even actually recycle the batteries. The packs and batteries are still gonna be good. They'll just pull the whole battery packs out and use them in other vehicles or stationary storage.

Probably. Unless it's something very proprietary that is specifically incompatible with everything, I wouldn't put that past the current Tesla people.

Jerryrigeverything has already demonstrated Tesla packs can be used for other vehicles. He made an electric military humvee.

Afaik, both him, Superfast Matt, and others were using packs from the comparatively sane Teslas, ones that were designed by engineers, not by a child with dementia. I am afraid to assume what the poorly rendered rustbucket is made of.

I don’t imagine they did anything crazy different with the cybertruck pack.
