      this video compares co2 emissions of a tesla vs hybrid vs regular ice car. I think it is an interesting exploration of the topic although I think the presenter had a hard time getting correct data and his data on the EV is more conservative than Tesla's numbers. I would definitely be interested in exploring this further. It seems probable to me that we won't have a better grasp on this for years yet as EVs are still pretty new and not widely adopted. this video

    2. @novokOct 2021· in “Dutch forensic lab says it has decoded Tesla's driving data”

      I like this youtube video that goes over various crossover points. The tesla beats the RAV4 prime at ~45k miles and a rav4 ICE at ~28k miles: this video I think 5k miles is a bit low, and using tesla as your only source biased.

      Though not a write up per se, Engineering Explained has made several videos with reasonable estimates: [LINK] this video [LINK]
