Same. I drive an old pickup truck. Get endless shit from the neighbors that all drive Tesla. I got a bunch of articles printed out with pictures of the horror show that is lithium mining and hand out copies I keep in the glovebox whenever they say shit -- and I usually tell them "just think how many people DON'T have a electric cars for every person you convince to drive those POS you're endorsing another one of the mines in the name of 'the environment'.
It's fun but nobody gives AF. They're all do what their told people.
Then they look at their "clean" EV and look no further that the EV itself because they're told "it's clean". Nevermind the pollution and destruction that goes on behind the scenes. Electricity comes from somewhere, the paints produced are the same process as traditional vehicles, the components and so on.
It's just burying their heads in the sand. The feel better about themselves because they see it as they're not affecting the environment (which is in itself wrong - just not doing it directly).
