While I'd been a Tesla fanboy in the past. I have serious doubts about the role it would play in Mankind's future. Electric cars themselves require massive battery packs, most of which emanate toxic materials and/or require many toxic materials in its production and it's ability to be recycled is doubtful at best. A better alternative would be having Public transit systems (alternately fuelled?) in place, so that fuel/road volume is used efficiently.
