They're using the 'safety' aspect, with the green aspect on the tail end of the argument, but its not the agenda, its just the padding around the shit sandwich covered in sprinkles they want you to eat.
Not that it is going to happen anytime soon, but I wonder how many environmentalists will choke on their chickweed spanakopita, soursob, milk thistle salad when the Cybertruck comes to a street near them. They cannot complain about its environmental creds, being battery powered and all that stuff. And because so much of it is recyclable (stainless steel exoskeleton, recyclable batteries, etc), it is all green goodness.
