See if you have fallen into the same cognitive trap as this commenter?

1. Anchoring Bias

He uses the current high silver price as a static cost anchor for his conclusion, ignoring the cost reduction space brought by technological iteration. As I mentioned in my comment, large manufacturers will continuously optimize silver usage and promote the mass production of silver-based batteries.

2. Status Quo Bias

He only focuses on this year's price fluctuations and hastily asserts that silver supply exceeds demand, without noticing the long-term deficit trend of supply not meeting demand for four consecutive years as reported by the World Silver Association, easily misled by short-term inventory fluctuations.

3. Single Cause Attribution

He simplistically attributes the poor usability of silver-based batteries to their high cost, without distinguishing between the different needs of high-end models and the mass market, and also overlooks the importance of performance premiums for luxury car brands such as supercars.

4. Availability Heuristic

He only sees CATL's sodium batteries and, having heard that silver prices have fallen this year, concludes that silver batteries have even less hope, treating a few independent cases as universal proof, while ignoring the fact that an industry can completely have multiple technological paths coexisting.
