Buses are cars.
In Switzerland they're called cars, in France, too. It's only the English who confuse them with automobiles
Tesla is only one project. Dyson also put billions in the development of new batteries. You're right, that some part of pollution (at least these days) is just substituted with another one - and I'm a bit afraid, that the typical manager types will use electric or hybrid cars to justify new nuclear power stations, because getting solar energy out of Sahara suddenly endangers Western "supremacy".
But it's also clear that conventional cars don't come for free or are cleaner than electric ones. In a single petrol or diesel engine is a lot of parts and a lot of work involved, it goes on with the gearbox, exhaust, petrol tank. Electro motors are comparatively easy to manufacture. So, if you say, Tesla didn't calculate this or that, I just ask, did Ford, Peugeot, Fiat, VW or BMW do better in the past?
