到底环不环保，我看还是仁者见仁，智者见智吧。如果从长远来看，它可能相当绿色；但放在今天，它就不那么绿色了。电动汽车不是烧��油的，所以它相当绿色，这没错。没有引擎，没有油箱，没有废气排放，它基本上是零排放的。但是如果考虑到汽车对环境的影响，就不能只看排气管了。特斯拉不是靠空气跑动的，它用电，而电来自不同的燃料如核电、天然气、还有最污染环境的煤。

Whether it is environmentally friendly in the end or not, I still think people will have differing viewpoints. If you view it from the long-term, perhaps it is fairly green; but for the present, it isn't that green. Electric cars don't burn gas, so they are quite green. That's true. There is no engine, no gas tank, no exhaust emission. It has basically zero emissions. But if you consider the effect of the car on the environment, you can't just look at exhaust pipes. Tesla doesn't run on air, it uses electricity. And electricity comes from different fuels: for example, nuclear power, natural gas, and coal, which pollutes the environment the most.

The difference between this kind of sales and traditional sales really isn't that great. Although the sales precision isn't high, the impression rate, however, is very high. And in the end we need to consider the long run. Even if a customer doesn't buy our product at this time, we can still easily establish a brand image. Then one day when a customer wants to buy, he'll be able to quickly think of us.

我们要从长远来看，不能只顾眼前。虽然人们的死亡率下降，平均寿命提高是件好事，但人口的发展一定要保持平衡才不会阻碍社会的发展。

That's because it uses the newest technology and so the cost is relatively high. But, when you look at the big picture, it's still quite a deal. You can save a lot of gas money and, if you buy one, you can receive a government subsidy.
