I can't help but feel the CO2 released by any manufacturing process is either:

a) Due to the factory power source which will probably (hopefully) be renewable soon

b) Due to some processing step where carbon capture should be a lot easier to perform than the direct air capture necessary to capture car emissions.

So the method of emissions needs to be considered as well.

That's interesting, and self-defeating I might add!

Do you have any data to share supporting the claim?

Really fascinating if true

It is also something a lot of people keep saying, but I have never seen proper documentation for it. So at this point I just think it is people repeating rumors.

But it would be interesting to read a proper documentation of it.

Most of the reputable reports I've seen put the payback time at 12 to 18 months.
