"Car-centric lifestyle but electrified" has turned out to be worse in the short and medium terms because of battery mining/recycling, tire wear and microplastics, etc. Electric cars incur a huge upfront environmental cost for those reasons and only balance diesel cars in CO2e costs after about 8 years, which is longer than most Americans own a car before they sell it. So those who sell and upgrade before then actually increased their emissions by switching to electric. This is just an illustrative example of the rush into feel-good, inconsiderate virtue signalling that accompanies many behaviors of individuals who want to feel like they're doing good rather than to know they're doing good.
Generally increasing our consumption rates and entrenching our consumption patterns is what has been accelerating us toward tipping points this whole time. I'm not a stark technology cynic but have learned a healthy ambivalence: tech doesn't make things better or worse, just different. But without acknowledging the cultural components of our use of technology, especially the pursuit of comfort and convenience at seemingly any cost, we risk diving headfirst into short-term conveniences and egocentric validation of our habitual patterns at the expense of making room for future generations to enjoy the same. Technologies amplify our effects on our environments for good or for bad.
