Hybrids are great, but pure EV is always more efficient and more "green" in terms of direct emissions.

These could be solved by using self charging hybrid. Self charging hybrids their have any issues drawbacks compared to EV nor do they have their drawbacks

Tesla, right now, has the best efficiency and above else best packaging, too bad they never deliver on those range estimates. As a big fan of Model 3 LR, I find that disparity quite troubling.

Of course all the cars with stupidly bad aerodynamics fall far behind the Teslas. What dumb engineers do these manufacturers employ that seemingly don't know crap about drag coefficients?

I mean the inferior designs can't be a marketing tactic. (1) They don't look nearly as good as Teslas and (2) even if they did, higher range estimates are a lot more attractive than an attractive design.
