Nissan, Mercedes and co haven't been able to shift the market for the last 10 years. They don't get it. They don't get that the global warming needs a resolution within 10 years. They may take a part of the electric car cake, but only Tesla knows what it's doing. And concerning the next steps, it's safe to assume that only Tesla will take the right anticipations. The world is unsustainable on carbon emissions. We need to ditch the old cars and the petroleum industry altogether. It's a matter of emergency, every year now sets new global warming records. Now Tesla can leverage most of the world and lobby against legacy car makes. Volkswagen criminals first.
Tesla has just changed the world, whether you realize it or not, and tables have turned against the petrol industry. The other brands have long bet the electric cars were impossible, they belong in history books together with our other guilty actions like inquisition, native americans and slavery.
- dilemma 10y agoTesla cars are powered by coal, gas, and nuclear, in varying parts depending on location. Is there evidence that they produce lower emissions than other cars?
- JeffL 10y agoOur two electric cars are powered entirely by solar.
- NotSammyHagar 10y agoSure, washington state power is mostly not from coal, and you can pay a slight extra amount to use only non-renewable sources, like I do. So my ev has 0% coal, gas, nuclear. Search for green power. It costs about $10 extra per month. It's easier here, almost 50% of power uses renewable for all customers. So you pay a little extra. Anyway, there's the obvious notion that capturing pollution from one central energy source (a coal or gas plant) is far more likely to reduce pollution than trying to reduce pollution from every car.
