I don’t think the big automakers — especially the Americans and Japanese — can switch gears, as it were. The reasons for this are discussed elsewhere in this thread, but thus far the EV models produced by the legacy manufacturers have been underadvertised, token vehicles. They are not shifting resources away from their current exclusive focus on ICEs, and there is no sign they ever will. Sure, they’ll do a press release. Or something like the Bolt that is lived by owners but forgotten by GM itself, who happily continues on basically the same as yesterday. They can’t change. Maybe VW. Maybe. But GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda... I don’t see it. Toyota is still trying to make hydrogen a thing, ferchrissake. Meanwhile Tesla is eating the luxury segment alive. If — and it’s a big if — Tesla can achieve profitability with the Model 3 and get their crossover SUV into production, they’ll own the world.
