So is it safe to safe that the average Tesla buyer/"consumer" is "virtue signaling" that they are actually contributing a measurable change towards climate change but instead just doing something trendy? Granted, the cars have "good tech" (fake full-self-driving claims or not).

Not at all. No gas stations and no oil changes is a real quality of life improvement, and would be even if Teslas ran on pure coal and orphans.
I don't drive but IMO there's a lot of reasons to not want to use gasoline beyond just 'the environment'
Never take what people on this site say at face value. If someone is unwilling to provide sources, it's usually a sign they are hiding something and you should put in some effort to independently verify their claims with reputable sources.

Doing so will produce a wealth of sources that all point to OP being misinformed on this issue.

as in I'm misinformed or somebody else?
