Their tooling is set up for it.
You know what else "their tooling is set up" for? Being changed in a short period of time for whatever the next hotness is.
But I genuinely believe they are responsible for bringing EVs to market ~3 years before it would have happened without them.
How do you reconcile that statement with the fact that while folks were waiting for Tesla to fill their Model S pre-orders, we were already driving a Nissan Leaf? The Leaf was going to happen whether or not Tesla ever built a single car, or even if Tesla never existed. I mean it's nice that Tesla fans jumped on the EV bandwagon, even if a little late, but let's not pretend Tesla wasn't late to the production EV game.
