1 year agoI have not seen this mentioned before, but the Teslas people buy in the US isn’t helping the environment. You just are saving on fuel!
I disabled notifications, so sorry for the late response.
In theory, what you’re saying is true. The problem is, these are expensive cars, meaning they’re all being bought by people with relatively deeper pockets. They just replace their relatively new cars with Teslas instead of prolonging the use of their existing ICE cars.
The result is more vehicle turnover for “green” reasons, but that is a lie. The use of vehicles for fewer and fewer months to move to an electric car is not helping the environment in any way.
