This not true, but also you have to look at the huge solar panel on top of the Tesla Gigafactory that decreases the footprint even more. https://www.quora.com/

Also I'm biased because I'm suffering from COPD because of the car emissions, so actually I take health impact into account more than most people.
- hyperbovine 10y agoThe Gigafactory makes batteries, not cars. Having toured Teslas factory in Fremont, it sure looked pretty carbon intensive to me. I'm thinking of the house-sized aluminum press, hundreds of giant robotic arms, etc.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoEverything at the factory you described runs on electricity, most likely clean renewable electricity. And if not, it will be shortly as solar and wind continue to drive out fossil fuels in the electrical generating mix.
