Side by side comparison of an older Te$la and a new ZYBERTRUKKK. An argument can be made for the former, maybe, but just look at the latter. (hexbear.net)

If you're wondering how much energy the EV on the right saves compared to a typical Ford F-150, the answer may not surprise you.

it appears the F-150 emits 370 grams of CO2 per mile driven.

a Cybertruck uses .5 kwh per mile, and so if it's getting charged by a supercritical coal plant, about 400g CO2 per mile. this isn't counting transmission losses, since it also takes energy to get gas to the pump.

factoring in upstream CO2, the f-150 is 464g, the Cybertruck is 444g with transmission losses. CO2 from mine to power plant/kg of coal/kwh is a metric i'm not prepared to calculate right now.

is that tail pipe only or is it including all the fuel infrastructure and construction emissions too?
