There are 86 million cars produced every year Tesla will sell nearly 400,000 cars this year. So replacing even half the petrol burners with electric means BEV manufacturing will need to increase 100x that would be another industrial miracle. And even if that happened there is still a carbon neutral best case payback of 5 years, that's being very optimistic. I wonder how many Gigafactories that works out to be. Granted there are other electric makers but their sales are small, so maybe just maybe we "only" need to increase BEV production 20x.
You said we do have solutions no we don't not even close, not for decades. Once again I'm the only one attempting to do the math why is that.

This leads to the question for me, lets say that we replace regular cars with electrical cars, this likely leads to a new environmental problem not only witht he hideousness of rare earth mining and the limited supplies of this, but also the disposal of batteries.
