This is the price of globalization, pretty much anything with high tech components and batteries has this issues.  I agree that Tesla owners, myself included, have no business looking down on ICE vehicle owners.  But it is very difficult to function in our society without having a laptop, smart phone, and using tons of useless plastic which is all bad for the planet.  Basically, most of the green energy revolution has been a lie for everyone.  Just like recycling has been for nearly 40 years.  Hope we can fix it.  I do my best to shop locally, grow my own food when I can, and try to buy products with minimal plastic whenever possible.
