What's in that sandwich though? The Cybertruck using California non-renewable energy creates 162g of CO2 per mile. A sandwich full of lamb generates 666g. A sandwich of lentils does 40g.

Haha, I've thought about it myself, but your response spurred me to dig deeper. Looks like there has been a study:

I wonder how long it would take for an EV to catch up to a bike all-in (including manufacturing materials) if the cyclist was eating something heavy on carbon footprint like a philly cheesesteak everyday.
