)))sigh((( Do the research. EV’s do NOT save the environment, require materials that are absurdly expensive to extract from the ground, and create a colossal issue in disposing or recycling.
I have done the research Dave and EV's absolutely do save the environment since they do not constantly pump harmful exhaust into the air.
What is the absurdly expensive materials you are referring to?
Lithium is an abundant mineral and can be mined from a variety of sources.
Tesla battery packs are recyclable.
Environmental impact aside Tesla's are he safest vehicles on the road. Safety is the number one priority of Tesla's. My post is about optimizing assets and how Tesla FSD technology has the potential to make owning a Tesla a profitable experience.
However feel free to share your environment insights if you have any.
Sure, EV's pump less carbon into the air...but the production of each vehicle requires more traditional energy sources (coal, oil, etc) than gas-powered vehicles on a scale of multiples. Without piling on factoids beyond the scope of of a comment section, pls read: CLMATE MIRACLE by Edwin Berry, or more importantly, FOSSIL FUTURE by Alex Epstein. Even Toyota is reluctant to hop on the EV train for these and other ancillary reasons.
Even if that is true the safety of vehicles with a thick battery base and a frunk in the front, plus the fact Tesla's can eliminate the tragedy of drunk driving accidents with FSD, make transitioning to a Tesla led EV future a clearly smarter choice than less safe pollution causing EV's.
Tesla safety technology has the ability to save millions (and eventually billions) of lives due to EV and Tesla safety technology, which is vastly superior to the safety of any ICE vehicle in production.
Thanks for your replies. (Had to look up FSD and ICE in this context....I hate acronyms). Personally, I’d rather have the reassurance of a heavy engine rather than a frunk in front of me during a head-on. One can find safety and self-driving advantages in other (gas or hybrid) models save Tesla (i.e. Volvo).
Beyond all that, your argument is predicated on the rather gullible acceptance of media over-hype of “the coming human-caused climate apocalypse”. I eschew that for many reasons, not the least being the tenets proferred in the FOSSIL FUTURE book I mentioned, and most certainly because I understand all-too-well the power of propagandizing progressive issues through popular media.
A heavy engine would decapitate you in many situations where a frunk would save your life. Would you rather jump into a pool with a boulder in it or one with water? That's the difference between an engine in front vs a frunk. Look up the comparison videos if you want proof.
Then of course there is the fact Tesla's are rated the safest cars of all time.
My argument is not about the environment at all actually. Safety is the number one priority of Tesla and EV vehicles, specifically Tesla's, are the safest vehicles in the world.
When it comes to the environment Tesla's are greener and innovation over time will find ways to ensure the green production of these vehicles. Tesla solar panels and batteries are two clean energy solutions which can help facilitate the environmentally friendly production of Tesla's moving forward.
Tesla Giga factories already produce more clean energy than they consume and are setting the standard for other companies in the industry to follow.
