You were right to mention

Ignore the fact that Tesla are involved.

I have to admit it's very hard for me to do so. It's a company that tries to portrait itself like it cares about the environment. This collaboration is clearly towards this direction.

On the other hand we have this article (and many more):

Tesla wants net-zero emissions, but its pollution grew in 2023

In 2023, Tesla was responsible for more than 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions compared to just under 42 million metric tons the year prior, a roughly 20 percent increase in pollution. Most of the additional pollution comes from Tesla’s supply chain.

So the conclusion for me is that I cannot see this collaboration out of context. It's one more company expanding, instead of focusing on the sustainability of their existing processes.

We know damn well, we have all the scientific solutions needed to invert climate change but big corporations like Telsa, care only for their public image and their (stockholders') profit. Nothing else. And these big corporations are actively lobbying and funding politicians to enforce legislation in their benefit. No wonder we don't see the political will to implement those solutions.
