Actually incorrect. The emissions to manufacture just the battery pack for a Model 3 exceeds the emissions to manufacture and operate a complete regular ICE vehicle for something like 5 years. They just don't look at those emissions as being related to the vehicle because the vehicle isn't directly generating them. This also completely disregards the emissions from the power source that generated the electricity, the typical heat conversion that takes place between generation and transmission termination, and the relative efficiency of EVs is pretty junk because of those 1000 lb batteries coupled with a regular 3000 lb vehicle. A Model 3 weighs more than my 2007 Crown Vic while being a physically smaller vehicle.[...]
I'm not sure what the weight of a battery has to do with your argument here. Yeah, heavier batteries generate more emissions than smaller batteries, but you have to be driving a very heavy EV to generate more emissions than even the most efficient gas cars [...]
@Vref, your location is known. If you have electricity, internet, property taxes, sewer, water, any other service, that's where someone nefarious is going to get your information from, not from your mobile device. Your mobile device knows generally where you are from cell tower triangulation but your services and government know precisely where you are and store that info in a very accessible site. Your property taxes are public information and give the precise location of your property. Plus that's probably online for anyone to see.
