What are the energy requirements and emissions for just building the vehicle? I've heard rumours that it's non-negligible when considering total emissions that a car will have caused.

Page 9 of https://www.tesla.com/ns_videos/2019-tesla-impact-report.pdf has a chart for that (Average Lifecycle Emissions in New York State (gCO2e/mi)).

Electric: 54 in manufacturing, 74 in use

Gas: 45 in manufacturing, 420 in use
