Electric cars never happened? (1) Nearly all major auto companies had electric car programs, or even finished electric cars, before the first model S came out of a factory. And (2) it's not like electric cars will save us from whatever problems cars are currently causing, like pollution or the 2,000,000 annual dead from car crashes.
