"Electric Vehicles are Actually Worse for the Environment than Internal Combustion Cars"

[hatidua]

Early on I felt compelled to bring this revelation to people who didn't even know it was out there but now... I just don't give a hobo's crap what other people do.

Seven month long thread says otherwise.

Really glad you like your car but the evangelizing is likely turning more people off than on.

Seems more like a religion than anything, including the "revelation". There's a lot of supposition, but no data.

My comparison in breaking even on the increased cost of going EV vs. ICE didn't even question the cost of charging. Any cost to charging extends the time from initial purchase difference to break-even.

If you're not aware of newer vehicles with 10K/1-year service cycles, that's not my fault.

Not sure what you mean by no data. Tesla vehicles have had a ton of data compiled on them by multiple parties ranging from studies and metastudies to user-reported information down to individual vehicles.

Here's an article about the highest-mileage Tesla on the roads:

Here's a link to a leaderboard for highest mileage Tesla vehicles:

Here's a website where you can punch in costs of electricity, gas, and how far you drive and get an idea of the cost delta:

There's other sources of data as well, if you're willing to look.

You'll have to forgive me, I'm not the sort of person who enjoys assidiously studying the oil change requirements for vehicles that I don't own.

Oh...the irony.
