That likely makes Tesla carbon neutral, all the good things they made to the environment by pushing electric cars and now they put over a billion on energy waste.
- is_true 6y agoIsn't green public transport better for the environment than electric cars? I understand they went for cars because it's Elon's vision and he doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that would ride in the subway.
- Hamuko 6y agoDidn't Elon create the Boring Company to ride in a subway - albeit one where there is only one car and it's his car?
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoYes but getting Americans to use public transport is one of the worlds greatest challenges.

- PragmaticPulp 6y agoDo you have a “charcoal-powered” power plant at your house? Or do you use the power grid like everyone else, which is a mix of sources that is gradually migrating to clean energy? If you had a fossil-fuel powered car, you would definitely burn fossil fuels to go anywhere. And every time you used the brakes, none of that energy would be re-captured. Suggesting that electric cars are bad because they might use some amount of fossil-fuel produced energy is a really bad false equivalency, and missing the point of electric cars.
- Triv888 6y agoI believe that it is a power plant that switches between natural gas & coal from time to time (When you see the nasty yellow smoke, it is coal, I believe, which is probably even worst then a gasoline-powered car).
