Tesla is answerable to the shareholders, not the planet. For CSR, they'll just plant 1000 saplings in Arizona. /sarcasm<br><br>The broader topic here is actually reflective of Uncle Sam in general, as the global "consumers" who outsource their pollution to 3rd world countries. Globalisation is a trick  to fool other countries into producing for them, so that they have the mightiest dollar and the cleanest air while others choke on smog and dirty water, but hey, the Uncle is paying for it right? Why do you need clean air to breathe when you are getting paid in dollars to sell your forests and rivers? <br><br>The hypocrisy can be extended to anyone replacing a phone/ laptop every 2 years even if they are good enough to run for another 2, not just Tesla owners. And the crypto miners with horrendous amount of power requirements. And the Tesla investors. How many of us think where the dividends have come from and at what environment costs?<br><br>/rant<br><br>The only way to protect the planet is to be self-sufficient, so that it is sustainable for longer, instead of FOMOing to the next hype train.
