When you buy a Tesla, it doesn’t decrease pollution, it just allows another automaker to pollute more. Tesla sells these to stall competitors’ electric vehicle programs.

- Analemma_ 6y agoThis is ridiculous. Other automakers aren’t being forced to buy Tesla’s credits.
- Farfignoggen 6y agoMaybe but that's the method that Tesla is using and something has to be done to get the EV industry jump started no matter if that's Tesla or Others that get that EV market made feasible! But the ICE automakers are all going to be offering EVs and on their Own to make their own credits usable but Tesla/others are eventually going to be viable without the credits needed.
