A Tesla Model 3 is touted as a zero-emissions car by government regulators, but it actually results in more carbon dioxide than a comparable diesel-powered car, according to a recent study.
When the CO2 emissions from battery production is included, electric cars, like Teslas, are “in the best case, slightly higher than those of a diesel engine, and are otherwise much higher,” reads a release from the German think tank IFO.

I believe that thinking people knew this, I am glad that it is starting to be published.

LTC (Join to see), I’ve also been reading reports of on the road computer failures where the car just stops and only a dealership can restart/reboot them. Also, reports of rusting on almost new cars.
It’s not a vehicle I’d care to own at this time.

If you actually took all the pollution from the production of several so called renewable energy sources I think you would find that is the case for several of these programs the left is pushing.

SSG (Join to see) I think what most people don't get is that creating electricity in much of the world is a polluting industry, just because the vehicle isnt emitting exhaust doesn't mean its clean... the electricity has to come from somewhere.

Solar Energy Isn’t Always as Green as You Think
Do cheaper photovoltaics providing solar energy come with a higher environmental price tag?
