As an example, GST in Australia is in the price on the shelf. You can also claim back the GST you paid on your input goods, which means you effectively pay the difference on the GST your customers pay you, and you paid your suppliers (which is the value added!).
Can you?
Carbon emissions for a Model 3 vs a Toyota Corolla even out after 13'500 miles according to Argonne National Laboratory [1], which is slightly less than the average an American drives per year (14'263 miles [2]). Assuming that he drives as much as the average driver, his cars generate as much Co2 as a Model 3 (definitely not true for the Cybertruck, but he probably has low-build-emission ICE cars in the other 8 to lower the average), and he buys a car a year, he has roughly the equivalent emissions of someone who drives twice the average number of miles each year. For reference, a long haul driver (of which there are 300k-500k in the US [3]) drives 100-110k miles [4] a year (7-8x the average).
