Are you referring to the use of coal when making steel? You know steel can be made without using coal. Also trains and buses are made using steel, so not sure what your point is.
We can’t bulldoze down entire communities and rebuild them so they’re optimal mass transit. We can’t even keep the carbon tax going in Canada because that’s unpopular. It’s a struggle to reduce carbon output in a democratic society, but we can’t do anything by being uncompromising assholes about it. I’d prefer everyone take transit everywhere too, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon, so EVs are a reasonable compromise. The goal is to reduce carbon not enforce our will onto others.

Why not? We did exactly that with highways and freeways for cars. I say we run light rail straight through the rich neighborhoods, using eminent domain, and divide them the way they did to poor neighborhoods with their stupid wasteful roads. And I actually like driving.
Mass transit actually does remove carbon and lasts a century, your Tesla is made using coal.
