To see how (specifically Tesla's) are terrible you can look closer to home as well. <br>Tesla really advertises insane Torque and Acceleration, and when I see co-workers wearing through tires in around 10 000 KM while my ICE car has way smaller ones lasting well over 75 000 it's a pretty good sign they're not caring about the environment, they just see it as a fancy toy that they could buy through lots of subsidies.  <br>The acceleration, but also the weight and the speed at which people drive them around corners ruins the roads here thanks to many folks seeing the public roads as their private race track.  If Tesla truly cared, they'd limit the output of those cars to the point that they're less likely to damage roads, use excessive energy and go through tires like crazy when people ride it like Tesla advertises them. <br>Oh, and we're not even touching on their stand-by power consumption yet while they're parked..   Back when they were reasonably new we ran some tests on one, and it was consuming about 200-250 watts when parked. And the government here was subsidizing them like crazy because they're so environmentally friendly. Around the same time  we had the EU limiting vacuum cleaners to 900 watt by law, because having a device that runs &lt;1 hr a week for most people clearly should not be allowed to use 1200-1500 or so watts, because that poor environment!  🤷‍♂
