- Replacing the existing fleet of combustion vehicles on the road with EVs
- Using heat pumps in homes/businesses & industry
- Implementing high-temp heat… pic.twitter.com/3QCDNtMYob -
Fossil fuel extraction is a one-way process—raw materials are mined & then burned, meaning they cannot be reused.

FSD Beta has been released to nearly all customers in the US & Canada who bought FSD (approximately 400k) -
In the last 12 months, a Tesla with FSD Beta engaged experienced an airbag-deployed crash about every 3.2 M miles, which is ~5x safer than the most recently available US average of 0.6M miles/police-reported crash pic.twitter.com/ft4m3Jyq5Q
