Maybe if you fucking re,tards actually cared about climate change like John does instead of sitting around with your dick in your hands, you would know that everything is pointless so go out and buy multiple sports cars for a
very reasonable price.

I'll give Johnny the first point, as the idea that an electric vehicle is green just because it's not producing emissions is laughable when you're more than likely using fossil fuels to charge it in the first place. Stopped clocks and all that.
As to the second, he's still trying to pretend he knows what he's talking about, shocking nobody. EVs are generally heavier than similar internal combustion cars, but the difference is generally only about a few hundred pounds, a thousand at most. That's adding maybe about a quarter to a third of the car's weight extra. Somehow, I don't think that's going to do noticeably more damage to the road.
Furthermore, if anything, trucks would be doing more damage since they weigh on the low end
ten times as much as a car, and when fully loaded could be close to quadruple that number. Though, looking into this further, I found
an article from the American Trucking Associations that discussed how an old study from the 60's continues to be used to grossly overestimate how much damage trucks do to roads, with the takeaway being that it has more to do with how a road's designed than what's driving over it. (To be fair, I believe most non-highway roads haven't been updated in decades, and could probably do with a full-scale replacement to bring them up to modern standards. Alas, that's never in the budget.)
I dunno if this is an example of John being unclear or just stupid, but I found nothing that suggests that asphalt or concrete release CO2 when they break down. When produced, sure, but that's true of a lot of shit.
Finally, the fact that he doesn't even bring up the environmental damage caused by mining the metals used to create all those batteries means that his attempt to sound environmentally-conscious falls flat. But I've noticed that about a lot of green-types; as long as it's not happening in their backyard, who cares?
Anyway John's a moron, but I sure do learn a lot by looking into how stupid he is.
