In reality they are 'shifted emissions'. How much power in the US is generated in a manner that causes no emissions? I could look it up but it ain't much.I applaud the idea behind it. And I am a big fan of Elon Musk. But the technology has a little ways to go before it starts replacing internal combustion wholesale. From battery manufacture, materials involved and the processes to electric infrastructure for charging. Not to mention cost. I see plenty of electrics around here. Expensive Tesla's, Model 3's, Leafs etc. But still a minority by a long shot.
When the first Tesla Roadster came out, I was eating lunch at a Taco Bell. I know I know, I was younger it was cheap. I was riding Max
and a couple was leaving in their Tesla. I was checking it out, and they were checking out my ride. When he pulled out, the acceleration was incredible! And creepy as because the only sound it made was the tires on the road...
