    Here are some of JB Straubel's accomplishments:
    Helped to develop Tesla's groundbreaking electric car technology.
    Oversaw the development of Tesla's lithium-ion battery technology.
    Led Tesla's battery research and development efforts.
    Co-founded and CEO of Redwood Materials, a company that recycles lithium-ion batteries.
    JB Straubel is a quiet engineer who has made a significant impact on the electric car industry.

    Thank God JB convinced Elon to abandon battery hot-swaps, which were always a terrible idea and a disaster waiting to happen, despite the fact that some others (notably the Chinese company NIO) are doubling down on it. A normal EV battery sits on the FLOOR of the car, INSIDE the structure, securely fastened and sealed from the outside environment. But a swappable battery is just HANGING UNDERNEATH, on the OUTSIDE of the car, held in place by a few bolts/screws, exposed to the elements. A half-ton projectile hanging on by its fingernails to the bottom of the car. But it gets worse because it doesn’t merely hang there. It’s attached/detached, fastened/unfastened repeatedly. This is the opposite of secure. It is precarious BY DESIGN because the hot-swap process needs quick and easy access to the battery. If hot-swappable EV batteries become popular, it is inevitable that, sooner or later, a battery will simply fall off a car on the highway and cause a fatal 20-car pileup due to negligence, incompetence, or fraud.
