i don't care about tesla in particular but I hate how EV corpos keep marketing them as environmentally friendly when they are absolutely not

EVs are the equivalent of e-cigs.
Maybe less bad than the original, but they bring their own issues while marketed like the solution for the problem.

My pet theory (subjective experience having smoked both) is we're gonna find out later that they were worse for you in a way we didn't anticipate. This is coming from a guy who prefers the whole vape experience (ive smoked ~30 years) but it hurts my lungs in a way smoke doesn't, and i cough up way more phlegm. Vape fucks my lungs.

Anyway I've quit again (2 months!)

Shit, i was gonna continue your vape analogy and just ended up ranting, sorry

Congratulations on the 2 months smokefree! Quitting cigarettes is tough, you can be proud :-)
