What a horrifying point. First of all lots of people who would have bought expensive cars bought Tesla, its absurdly wrong to claim every Tesla buyer would have bought a Civic instead. You are suffering from massive selection bias. And consumer products are almost always more then just pure base value. > But Manufacturing consists a bulk of carbon footprint, so if you cared you'd get a used car. So everybody who cars can never buy a used car and the people who buy new cars buy gas cars that eventually turn into used gas cars? Do you really not understand how that makes absolutely no sense what so ever? > But, the reason Tesla is doing well is not because it beat the Germans at their own game (as the articles want to imply). It is because they played a different game all together. German game was to build expensive cars the people really wanted. And so did Tesla.
