I've calculated that it would take a Tesla roughly 25-30 years to make up for its production emissions compared to my used MR2 Spyder.
That is ignoring the fact that the Tesla will likely not last 28 years, much less on its first battery.
It is also ignoring the possibility of me converting my car to run on biofuels or doing a hybrid conversion.

So, I'll keep my Spyder, and I'll keep my bicycles.
If I'll end up needing to drive more, I will obviously consider going electric.
