What good is Tesla doing for the environment? Seems like they're at best giving people an option that is a bit less destructive if they were to have purchased a new car anyway

Allows people to move away from fossil fuels.

They can't keep up with demand, all their inventory is sold, so it's displacing a lot of regular car sales.

They're displacing a lot of regular car sales, but it's not clear to me how the manufacturing and operation of a Tesla is a net positive for the environment. You could also just walk or take public transit and you'd be doing arguably more.
