why? what would the other car manufacturers do when there is no more oil to put into the combustion engines? just lie down and die? everybody can see the writing on the wall. sure, tesla might have sped it up a bit. but to be solely responsible for that? tesla is not even the first EV company or the first prototype.
- nerdjon 4y agoI should have been more clear about that. I more meant the timing of it, I think if it wasn't for Tesla we may be looking at another 5-10 years for electric vehicles. It is entirely possible another company would have come out and taken Tesla's place. But I just don't see the main car companies having tried it yet if it wasn't for Tesla (or another well funded EV that was that bullish).
