The thing is, that EVs, and Tesla/Musk in particular are trying to continue a war against public transport that the car industry has been fighting for 100+ years at this point. Using the same power sources, an electric train is orders of magnitude more efficient than an EV, and even a diesel train is emitting less CO2. Hell, a diesel bus is probably still emitting less.
Of course, public transit is far better. Unfortunately it’s often easier (especially in the US) to convince people to buy a different kind of car than it is to convince them to use public transit.

Edit: per person/passenger.

Yeah definitely, but EVs are being pushed globally as a solution to climate change when they just aren’t really.
