Tesla found out how to create electricity out of thin air decades ago....
Tesla, the scientist may have done that, but his namesake auto company and Elon Musk have yet to achieve a profit making electric cars that outside the hype and PT Barnum shill, are appealing to a very narrow(READ: able to afford the price) market. Saw a Tesla Model X in a shopping center parking lot, asked the driver the cost, said he's leasing it. What's the lease payment on a 135K plus vehicle these days?
ICE may be 'old technology' but it's still quite viable, affordable (well maybe for a while longer) to all, and is hardly the source of emissions is was even 40 years ago. And what is to become of all the toxic metals from exotic batteries as they hit the end of their useful lives? I see that as a way bigger threat to the environment than an ICE vehicle's emissions.
