Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it’s not yet hit home where their dollars are going…or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?
I hear so few people talking about this fact. The middle and upper class don’t want to hear about any solution unless it involves buying status symbols.
Proving you’re morally superior to the poors is definitely the most important part of combating climate change.
People don’t talk about it because it’s not true.
EV cars emit more to produce but they catch up the difference very quickly even if the electricity they use comes from coal generators. Gas cars total emissions keep increasing over time.
I got a used Nissan Leaf (that was one year old, so people didn’t realize it was used). Everyone was constantly telling me that I should have bought used because the lithium for a new battery is worse than anything else in the world. When I told them it was used, they either said I should have gotten an older one, or they just stopped talking about it.
Wait till they hear how bad gasoline is.
