Driving a Tesla means you dont care about decent built quality and attention to detail either.<br>In the Volvo study that compared the manufacture of the Volvo C60 vs C60 Recharge.<br>You have to drive 80,000 miles in the EV to offset the additional environmental damage caused by making the EV ... By which time you'll be possibly considering a new battery and throwing the old one into the landfill as toxic waste. YES most EV batteries are not recyclable.<br><br>The EV is the most destructive vehicle EVER devised.<br>It is FAR more environmentally damaging to produce than any equivalent petrol or diesel car.<br>It has a shortened life, due to the limited lifespan of the battery being just a fraction of a modern petrol or diesel engine.<br>Plus, as the battery is the largest and most expensive component in the vehicle, the car will be rendered almost valueless once it decides it doesn't want to be charged any more.<br>In short. They are a con. A very expensive con. A very destructive con. A very dangerous con.<br>The manufacturers know it. As do the "environmentalists". And governments. <br>And anyone else with half a brain.
