Not true.
Even when the source-energy is coal, Tesla reduces net emissions a lot by eliminating the inefficiency of the IC engine.
And when the source-energy is solar, net emissions are even better. :-)
- meepmorp 14y agoIf you factor in the emissions of extracting and refining raw materials to produce the car, I wonder if the net for a Tesla is markedly better than a standard car. I don't know the answer to that, just wondering.
- astrodust 14y agoI'm just saying you can't reduce emissions to zero unless you have a zero footprint solution to providing energy. There will always be some collateral damage, no matter how minor, until we're able to make solar panels out of entirely recycled materials using entirely renewable energy.
