| 0:00.0 | I've had my Tesla since 2013, and it's never dawned on me where the lithium came from. |
| 0:11.0 | Exactly. |
| 0:12.0 | Until I stepped foot into Solar de Uni in Bolivia, and on its tour, and my tour guide |
| 0:18.8 | tells me, did you know this is the world's largest lithium reserve, and I was just like, |
| 0:23.0 | oh my god. |
