  12.  @pumpkin9916  First, you make it sound like the manufacture of a car is a trivial amount of the thing's lifetime GHG emissions. It's not. Estimates vary, but the lowest one I've seen still says that 20% of the car's emissions will be from its manufacture. Second, you realize a Tesla still uses oil, right? That differential is not lubricated in electrons, and neither are wheel bearings or suspension points. Even Elon has to do business with Exxon. Yay, capitalism! There are also the huge tires which have a high embodied energy cost, and wear fast with 5000 pounds and almost 500kW bearing down on them. Oh, and the Saudi Arabia of rubber (Indonesia) gets 87.5% of its power from "dino" and coal. (Source: https://www.geni.org/globalenergy/library/national_energy_grid/indonesia/index.shtml) Oh, and let's not forget the power source used to charge the mighty (large) Tesla in many (most?) places in the US is also coal, nuclear or/and natgas. Every mile driven is more pollution for people not lucky enough to be inside the carbon-filtered cockpit. Up here, Quebec has massive hydroelectric dams covering several thousand square miles, and makes enough power for its own needs and those of several states in the US Northeast. The trouble with that? The land flooded by damming was mostly forest, which actually makes more GHGs in decomposing than the entire project will save over the course of a century. No shit. It also results in the leaching of lead into the water table, killing both the wildlife and Indigenous peoples (Cree, Inuit, Innu) who live in Northern Quebec with disproportionate levels of cancers and reproductive harms associated with (wait for it...) exposure to lead. The key point here is, regardless of fuel source, hammering the shit out of your car pollutes a lot more than not doing so. A lighter vehicle will also out-accelerate and out-brake a heavier one -- all other things being equal -- while requiring less fuel do to so (again, regardless of fuel type). HTH.
