Be interested to see those numbers.
by my calculation a Falcon 9 launch produces 425 metric tonnes per launch. So
far total launches period for Space x is around 150 counting all their Rockets.
there has been 3 heavy launches that produce 2683 metric tonnes. 147 x 425 =
62,475 + 3 x 2683 = 70,524 metric tonnes. according to the EPA a typical car
emits 4.6 metric tonnes per year. That's about 15,000 cars so even if they
launch 10 times more rockets they won't equal the Tesla vehicles on the road
for 1 year.

That's an interesting observation on Tesla's priorities.
I rough-calculated a while back that Spacex's project to lauch 40,000 (!)
satellites into orbit will release about as much carbon dioxide as has been
saved by Tesla's entire EV production through 2020.
