Scotty is one of my favorite youtuber, I think I watched more than one hundred videos from his channel.
He has aways been a strong critic of Tesla.
What says is true but I want to react here to his video.
It is true that EVs use electricity generated from fossil fuels but EVs are 90% efficient while IC cars are around 30%.
Also the efficiency of fossil fuels power plants is much higher than internal combustion engines.
About car finishing I agree, it is a weak point of Teslas.
It is about what matters for you: finishing or technology+efficiency+performance+safety.
I agree also about weight and cost, light cars are more efficient and cheap but also much less safe.
The would be safe if everyone was forced to use a light car but if everyone is using heavy cars and pick up trucks you need a heavy car to be safe and resist a collision.
Tesla is a company born in US and americans love muscle cars.
About batteries Scotty is pretty wrong.
Degradation is not so high, model Ss from 2012 still work very well.
Even if you wil have to change the battery after 8-10 years there will be a much more cheap and efficient techonogy at that point.
As for recycling it is a business that it is just starting today and they can recycle 95% of the metals.
