I mean, you can even see it in the photo of the Gigafactory Station. Germany doesn’t have electrified tracks, only overhead wire (or side rail for underground or inner city trains), neither are visible in the picture.
It’s nice that now there’s a train to the factory, but it’s just a tiny diesel powered train that’s usually used to connect small towns and villages- east germans call that a “Ferkeltaxi” (piggy taxi).
That…that’s what it is. It’s literally a diesel powered train. I wasn’t joking, reality is the joke.
The punchline is that the train is not electrified, instead it runs with diesel.
No one but complete morons are asking to specifically make a product by emitting carbon dioxide. No company is emitting co2 for “the global citizens”. They make products to earn money. Emissions are an avoidable by-product no one asked for.
