> What Tesla has achieved is so important in the long run for the environment

Yeah, one thing the environment definitely needs is our continued reliance on personal transport vehicles, more roads, and more mining.

How anyone can frame this as being good for the environment is a joke. Yes, it is better than a gas car. That is a long way for actually being green.

Don't just kill an idea because it only helps x% and wait for something that helps 100%. You'll be waiting a long time.

Anyone buying a new Tesla to replace their current car is bad for the environment.

Lets just not lie about what it is. Time to start having a real conversation about what we need, rather than slightly diverting course by a few degrees, hoping the iceberg is really thin.
