I guess that depends on what you mean by "not possible". Did any engineer doubt an electric car could be made and sold? Maybe no one believed it could be done profitably. That's still the reality.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoI meant the second and it seems to be the reality now.
- rohit2412 7y agoFirst, tesla is not profitable. Second, would you consider that the hype, the lies, the cult, and the overly optimistic statements might be a reason that Tesla can sell so many cars? Could Ford pull this off?
- TeMPOraL 7y ago> the lies Which ones? I don't remember any in pre-Autopilot Tesla. > overly optimistic statements A lot of companies do that. Tesla had a habit of delivering, at least (again) pre-Autopilot. > Could Ford pull this off? If they honestly and deeply cared about making fully electric cars exist, as opposed to making money off some cars, I don't see why not.
