Mercedes just went on record stating they are ending all production of ICE models:I see. Yes, "pros and cons."
Too bad the MBZ places the future of life on our only planet at risk, or did you not know this? Or do you wish to live in a state of willful ignorance and just pretend to not know this? (Tip: Either answer is shameful.)

CO2 level highest in human history - USA TODAY, 5/14/2019
Key quotes, truncated, as some have made up their minds and prefer to not be bothered with any facts:
“We don’t know a planet like this,” Eric Holthaus, a meteorologist and writer at Grist, an online environmental magazine, posted on Twitter.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have skyrocketed far higher than any levels in more than 800,000 years, according to data from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego.
“This is the first time in human history our planet’s atmosphere has had more than 415 ppm CO2,” Holthaus tweeted. “Not just in recorded history, not just since the invention of agriculture 10,000 years ago. Since before modern humans existed millions of years ago.”
Carbon dioxide levels millions of years ago were higher than 2019 levels, but Earth’s temperatures also were far higher. In the 800,000 years before the Industrial Revolution, CO2 levels didn’t surpass 300 parts per million.
