I think electric starts making more practical sense the more expensive cars get because of heat and reliability, but most people with big money also don’t care about reliability because they can afford it. They want sound too and brand image.
Musk has always said being green is just one of the reasons. He said he thinks the CO2 experiment is stupid, but his thing was always that electric would prove to be the better daily for the masses and as luxury cars. Also, oil has a finite future, so might as well move on to renewables.
The path to renewables isn’t going to happen over night. It is already better for people to choose electric, as far as end of life carbon emissions are concerned, but even if it wasn’t, the path there won’t be some overnight flip, so we should expect a period where things aren’t perfect. The point is we are on the right path.
