That likely makes Tesla carbon neutral, all the good things they made to the environment by pushing electric cars and now they put over a billion on energy waste.
If you had a fossil-fuel powered car, you would definitely burn fossil fuels to go anywhere. And every time you used the brakes, none of that energy would be re-captured.
Suggesting that electric cars are bad because they might use some amount of fossil-fuel produced energy is a really bad false equivalency, and missing the point of electric cars.
