It is very relevant.
If you’d ever driven one, you’d know that none of these points are valid.
The Tesla I currently drive contains less Cobalt than the Diesel I owned before.
The range is similar to most gas cars and the car usually has enough range to go on, once I grabbed a coffee, when supercharging.
In every aspect besides refueling time, it is far superior to any other car I’ve driven.
I wouldn’t go back, ever.
Mine charges purely on renewable energy, but even if charged with 100% coal it’s still cleaner than any gas car, because it’s 4x more efficient.
Also most coal plants are more efficient and cleaner, than the average engine.
