Tesla Roadster

Tesla’s Roadster was the first all-electric vehicle to go into mass production for the U.S. market. With a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.7 seconds and a range of 248 miles on a single charge, the vehicle demonstrated that electric cars can be practical, fun and emissions-free.

re: used to produce the hybrid and battery
Undoubtedly not. It is a bit like all the recycling that entails more pollution than just dumping it. Of course governments don't want to upset manufacturers by telling them to stop using such wasteful packaging in the first place!
