"Never mind that the grid is getting cleaner all the time."
Ah yes, the typical Tesla rationalization that attempts to excuse present-day behavior.
Clinging to this rationalization is the equivalent of murdering someone and then saying "don't worry about it, in the future homicide will be legal". No, homicide is illegal today and you're going to jail, and no, the electrical grid is made up of about 70% fossil fuels and you're heavily contributing to air pollution.
Not only is the amount of pollution from the electric grid important but also the basic economics that come with it. Any adult with half a brain can understand that as the usage on the electric grid increases, the incumbents gain more profits (coal, gas), which they can then reinvest into their infrastructure, in effect reinforcing their current entrenchment and preventing progress to a cleaner grid.
