“A Tesla Model 3 battery, for example, represents between 11 and 15 tonnes of CO2. Given a lifetime of 10 years and an annual travel distance of 15,000 kilometres, this translates into 73 to 98 grams of CO2 per kilometre, scientists Christoph Buchal, Hans-Dieter Karl and Hans-Werner Sinn noted in their study.”

Total bunk. The battery warranty is longer than that. Besides, the battery is recycled so the math is wrong.

You are incorrect - the batteries are under warranty for either 8 years OR 100-125k miles, whichever is first meaning the average will be less than 8 years - I’d guess 6.5 years on average. Yes, there is recycling the battery at the end of its life but that’s also true of both the diesel, regular gas and electric vehicles in general. If this is your “debunking” its not a very good one.
