What am I wrong about?
A Tesla gets ~130 mpg equivalent [1]. This means that if you put a gallon of gas worth of electricity into a tesla, the Tesla can go 130 miles.
On that same page you can see the Tesla is rated for ~350 miles of range. So the Tesla battery pack carries less energy than 3 gallons of gas.
Let's phrase it this way: if you had a 100% efficient generator, you would need less than 3 gallons of gas to fully charge a 1000lb Tesla battery pack. The Tesla could then travel 350 miles with that energy.

- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoI think it's easier to say: A Tesla long range battery is 82 kWh. A gallon of gas is ~33.7 kWh. So even in a Tesla, 1 mile of driving = 1 hour of gaming = it's not worth talking about gaming as a cause of global warming.
