What would opponents have us do? Continue to produce an ancient technology who's time has past? Idiotic.
Electric cars also have a heck of a fun factor as a result of the physical properties of induction motors. Induction motors have tremendous torque. Electric cars are capable of acceleration which will embarrass all but super sports cars. And if you have some money to spend, there's ludicrous speed.
Tesla is green, nerdy cool and bad ass.
What opponents? I don't see any opponents around here. There has been some discussion of facts concerning monetary costs, environmental costs, strengths, weaknesses, and virtue signaling of EVs. EVs probably aren't quite green, yet. They're getting there, though.
And Tesla isn't nerdy. Nissan Leafs are nerdy.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
