Because as we all know, _building more trucks_ will lead to the old trucks just magically disappearing, and not just have twice as many trucks on the road now.

Because as we all know, _building more trucks_ will lead to the old trucks just magically disappearing, and not just have twice as many trucks on the road now. And as we all know, the building of that truck definitely doesn't emit a truckload of pollution, making batteries is a process that doesn't destroy the environment to mine the metals it needs, 50% of the electricity in the US doesn't come from fossil fuels, and Tesla doesn't make all of its money by selling carbon credits to other car makers, leading to the exact same amount of pollution anyways. The way you make a dent in emissions is by increasing public transit for the public side of things, and making more freight trains so that your trucks only need to drive 50 miles, not 2000.
