I don’t even know what to say to the first sentence in your comment.

  Just admit it? Being a "sports car" doesn't make it any better, in the same way a Ferrari is not better than a Lexus.

    Tesla caused a hype around EV cars and is probably the primary cause as to why everybody is talking about EVs. I doubt regular manufacturers would have begun releasing real EV cars without their pressure.

      >Tesla caused a hype around EV cars and is probably the primary cause as to why everybody is talking about EVs That's not a technology thing though. Just a marketing thing.

    marketing matters. electric cars have been around for 100 years, but they weren't getting any measurable adoption until Tesla came around and made them seem cool. I don't like a lot about Tesla or Musk, I'm not sure they have what it takes to mature, but you can't dismiss the effect their shenanigans have had on the industry.
