Also your numbers I am confident are highly flawed and likely straight up wrong. Show me the detailed analysis of carbon footprint including mining of minerals shipping them around the world and blood diamonds catastrophe to get there. I’m willing to bet the environmental impact is negligible or ignoring the mining impact and for example to be specific there’s a difference between exclusively focusing on emissions vs the rape and pillage of earth for mining transport shipping transport convert to useful material manufacturing battery transport etc.
Such a joke.

I was not making any comment about supporting Musk, or buying Teslas in the future. But Tesla 15 years ago it a great thing for our environmental future, there is little denying that. I also say Tesla, because I'm reluctant to give Musk credit, since he bought out and latched onto a technology others developed.
The idea that EVs have a higher carbon foot print than ICEVs is out right brainwashed Alberta bull####. There is no room at all for middle ground on that, the conservative numbers are at 3:1. The hoops people need to jump through to believe this are shocking and a case study in motivated reasoning.

One should also remember that as grids get greener, because PEV and Wind generation actually have cheaper unit costs that conventional grid generation methods, that those China and India numbers will rapidly improve to better than 3:1 like Europe and America. And you should remember for that the Majority of Canada our grid is much cleaner than the US, so the numbers are even better, and that people in Alberta do have the option of self generating for their car, making it even better.
