It's all a false religion and bad/fraudulent science, but it's very difficult to argue about religions, especially fake ones.
You should be ashamed of yourself, while altruistic people like Al Gore just left his mansion on his private jumbo jet to spread the gospel about global warming, excuse me climate change. Anyways I'm not sure if you heard, but political genius and wunderkind Alexandria Ocasio Cortez just said the world is going to end in 12 years because of global warming, excuse me climate change. I think it's time we all take this, like seriously. Like yeah.

For a true comparison, it should show the supply chain carbon footprint to truly show environmentally friendly your Tesla's are.
As an example, I see Richard Branson as a brilliant businessman, creates thousands of jobs around the world, fantastic. But I can't take environmental lectures from the bloke when he must ultimately be one of the biggest carbon creators in the western world. Be clear that I'm talking about full supply chain carbon creation, not just what Virgin group creates.
As my fave tv Judge says, "if you're going to come to court, come with clean hands, otherwise I can't take you seriously"

The arguments given are wonderful examples of why assessing the impact of electric vehicles is so difficult. Not to mention the unintended consequences when millions of people use a product or technology, that looked great when only a small percentage of people used it.
