dude stop mansplaining
msm told me that nuclear energy and the right are bad.
(((green energy))) and the left are good.
Are car engines more efficient because they breathe air?

This is a load of horseshit for two reasons.
First, when a battery is at the end of it's life, it's done. You're not going to magically wring out a thousand more cycles of meaningful energy storage/release. It may take 500 cycles for the battery to go from 100% to 70% capacity, but only 100 to go from 70% to 10%, and 10 to go from 10% to 0.01%.
Second, batteries are terrible for grid storage. AC->DC->AC conversion is inefficient, the batteries themselves don't last long enough to be economically viable, and they're not suited for rapid charge/discharge cycles.

You clearly don't how radiation works, nor how much of it is purely cosmic.

Elon Musk and Tesla intend to prove you wrong in South Australia.

Not the guy you are replying to but those measurements are barely above background radiation, variations in ground composition and atmospheric conditions could easily account for the difference. He wasn't complaining about the unit of measurement either.
Also that image being from XKCD makes no differences as it has more than enough sources for the content it contains.
As for the actual radiation, the danger posed by it is heavily dependant on the type of radiation, for instance alpha radiation has a high effective dose compared to gamma rays per Sv but it only can effect you if the source is inside your body (alpha particles are stopped by the layer of dead cells on your skin but gamma rays can penetrate your body with ease). It also depends where on your body you get exposed, your brain is quite resistant to radiation exposure while your colon isn't.

Elon Musk and Tesla are going to have a hard time disproving physics.
Not only are the measurements barely above (or at/below) background radiation and dominated by local factors, they're easily within the margin-of-error of a fast-integrating meter like the handheld unit shown in the picture. Those cheap handheld units are intended to give an approximate indication quickly, and a single particle is enough to cause a large spike on the fractional-microsievert scale. Given that radiation at those low levels is essentially random, there's literally zero meaning in the difference between the two measurements
