Nothing surprising there, Tesla vehicles are powered from the electrical grid which still is overwhelming dependent on carbon based non-renewables , all Tesla has done is shifted the blame game to the electrical producers. Now if every Tesla had solar panels on it's hood ,roof, and trunk surfaces I would buy that it's a more "green" vehicle.

Yes sir.

I guess it's the pride of ownership thing.

And I forgot the batteries wear out also.

Those solar panels use rare earth elements which are extremely hard to find, require a lot of mining and refining...a lot gained by solar is lost in their production...

This doesn't surprise me at all. Seems like companies would rather pay a fine then actually invest in fixing their emissions systems.

My neighbor parks his Tesla S near is 2k windmill where he has a battery pack and a 48VDC to 220 AC converter charger.  I'd say he's the greenest driver I know.  If I had his cash I'd probably do the same, not sure I'd drive that beautiful machine in the winter on our vehicle dissolving salted roads though.

Nothing says I love the environment like a truck full of heavy metals.
