Well if you can figure out how to actually accomplish a big expansion in public transport, please let us know. People have been trying for decades. You have to get politicians and taxpaying voters on board and that's not so easy.
In the meantime, Tesla is making real progress on decarbonizing transport. And it's not just "stupid luxury cars," the whole idea was to start with that and work their way down to the mass-market as they scaled up mass production and batteries got cheaper, and that plan seems to be progressing nicely.
Batteries can be recycled and Tesla's 4680 cells are designed to make recycling easy. And a recent Yale study found that, even taking all indirect emissions into account, electric cars are far better than gasoline cars: https://environment.yale.edu/news/article/yse-study-finds-electric-vehicles-provide-lower-carbon-emissions-through-additional https://environment.yale.edu/news/article/yse-study-finds-el...
