What are the numbers? How much energy goes into extracting rare earth materials, recycling batteries etc.? How is the electricity generated? How much is lost in transit and battery efficiency? What do the servers use that the Tesla communicates with behind the owner's back?

These are real questions. I find it hard to get a comprehensive and unbiased analysis.
