You see there I am researching into various new battery technologies and roll onto the total CO2 count for the production of a Tesla. Now this is where I am not sure the public are being told the correct information about ICE cars. You see an ICE car has a certain CO2 output when you drive it burning dinosaur juice. It is put into a Tax band depending on how bad this is. But as far as I can tell none of those figures at all include the overhead of ICE production and how much CO2 it took to refine and build the car. It has way more parts to produce and transport. This surely should be included in these emission figures no? So you think you are green in the self charging <-- LOL or hybrid. But an ICE actually far worse because it will never cross a 0 co2 threshold.

A Tesla gets bashed about its total CO2 figure to make and then outputs no more CO2 if the electricity is produced green. But it seems to be the whole ICE CO2 output figures sold to consumers are much worse than displayed. Consumers should know how much Co2 they are buying for mother earth.
