Thankfully, we're not really in any danger of depleting the earth's lithium. We probably don't have enough mines currently to easily support the demand, but there is plenty of the stuff on the planet. We're getting better at finding it and mining it, and there is an option to recycle it from existing batteries, too. I'm sure we will have new chemistries in the next decade or two that help as well.
We do love to solve our last problem by creating new ones of larger size, though. I also still drive a diesel along with the EV, but the Tesla largely meets all of my needs both for commuting and travel (as long as I'm not in a hurry). They're overpriced and the interiors are crap, though. |

The instant torque is always fun, and they are brutally fast, but I'm still here trying to buy a G80, so there is still a "fun" gap, too. |

Another confirmation here that MHD flash back to stock(NOT stage 0) will pass CA smog inspection no problem, no CVN / checksum issues. Just had my car smogged yesterday, no problems with my inlets/outlets or intercooler left on, just made sure to throw on stock down pipes and air box to make it look stock

Will this take all the obnoxious Chargers, Challengers, and ricers off the streets here?

I reflashed the DME back to the stock tune. There is no locking or unlocking on E90/E92 Pre-Lci DME's. I have plenty of other coding done to the car, but the DME was flashed to stock software.

For people with BM3 tunes when flashing back to stock are you able to pass CA smog?

Very hypothetical, but how would this affect 330i tunes on someone that swapped on a two stage intake? I'm vaguely considering one of those in the future, so????

If you install a tune to take advantage of the 3 stage intake manifold then yes when you go to smog you will need to revert back to the stock tune in order to smog it and pass

Yes, three stage, glad you know what I meant! Well, guess I can scratch that from my to-do list!
