I understand the sentiment. Yes overall EVs are much better. It’s still important to point out how they can be further improved, when they have problems like heavier weights causing more PM 2.5 from tires.

That's exactly the point of the discussion above. Why is it important to point out?

So we can look towards and achieve the 80% good solution instead of the 70%? Progress? If we're giving out subsidies for cars can we encourage lighter weight EV's? A Tesla Model X is 50% more weight than a Bolt EV, with similar range.
