Yes, it's all well and good buying a Tesla to save the environment but it doesn't end there. When you charge your Tesla you are still killing the environment from using electricity if it isn't from a renewable energy source.
This is why I love the way this man charges up his Tesla Model 3. It is so good that even Tesla themselves tweeted about it. He uses 100% renewable energy from his hydro plant to charge up the car. Sure, it may take longer than one of the electric car manufacturer's Superchargers but it's the beginning of a better and more efficient future.
I am aware not everyone has access to a hydro plant but if we could, it would be very efficient. I did some research and apparently the average cost of electricity from a hydro station larger than 10 megawatts is 3 to 5 U.S. cents per kilowatt hour. A standard Tesla Model 3 has a 50 kWh battery so that equals a total cost of around $2.50. For a full charge! Admittedly, it may take a little longer than usual but it's worth it in my eyes.
We need to start doing all we can to save the planet!

That's awesome way forwards but not everyone has a lake or a river in his garden
Yes, I believe in dams.
Unfortunately green people often don't. Something about the riverbank ferns.
Nothing a lick of paint can’t fix
Yes, it's an idea. We could paint panda murals on the huge concrete canvasses as a way to raise awareness.
The U.S. could have a lot more hydro plants (dams) if it were not for the environmental nazis who shut down generation facilities like dams because they impact such a large foot print of land. One group may be receptive to a dam but there are hundreds more who oppose it. The same with solar panels in the desert, they disrupt ground nesting birds and animals. Wind farms, oh they kill birds. Nuclear...another Chernobyl. Coal is a dirty word. They do all they can to shut down geneation facilities.
Follow the money.if someone can make money off it it will happen.
We need to think more about our future seriously some people care more about their pleasure than our life and that's sucks, sure having a screaming v10 is cool but living is way more important and before you go and tell me "lol an over electric car fagg" my dream car is a f*cking viper ACR, and if you want to drive something "with a soul" go buy a horse 😂 because flash news objects don't have any
Hydro like the 7 series from the very late 90's and early 00's.
Its a shame that didn’t really take off
