Tesla just took another step toward a “no China” supply chain.
In this clip, Matt and Bradford break down Tesla’s new graphite deal with Syrah Resources, why the Trump administration’s tariff push is forcing a rethink of where batteries and materials come from, and what it all means for EV suppliers that bet big on old assumptions.
00:00 Tesla’s “no China” push explained
01:00 Syrah Resources, Mozambique graphite & the Louisiana plant
03:10 What happened to Novonix and other EV darlings
05:00 Can US suppliers catch up without China?
06:10 Rare-earth-free Cybercab motor and what Bradford saw
07:15 Europe, FSD, and regulations that might be costing lives
If you’re an investor trying to understand how the EV and AI build-out actually gets powered—materials, motors, and all the boring stuff in between—this is the part of the Tesla story most headlines are missing.
