They are one step in a big picture problem.
However, even when they are powered by coal or gas burning power plants, they are far, far cleaner and more efficient.
This is why they are a good first step. Add to that the 20 cent to the dollar vs gas operating cost, plus way lower maintenance and better performance.
That is why all of the car manufactures and killing themselves to get in the game.
I have one, and if you did you would wonder why you waited.
And you know this how? From your 6 months of owning a Telsa? EV's rank near the bottom of the list for reliability. Fact, not opinion.

Your big picture is focused on your narrow vision. Maybe try to take the blinders off and see things outside of your small selected world.
20 cents on the dollar as compared to gas at the pump. Yep, got it. You've been beating this drum since since you bought your Tesla.
Yet you ignore the facts on the larger scale on everything else that is involved. I posted a couple links that might be of interest but you have a phobia of YouTube videos from outside sources that don't agree with your mindset on this topic.
Are you willing to provide or post some contrary facts (not opinion) on this topic or should we just trust your experience? You probably have been on Zoom meetings with some super important people that have information that we couldn't understand but it's out there if we wanted to look for it.
It's pretty vanilla... seems like I've heard this claim before...
