- toomuchtodo 4y agoI mean this as politely as possible: no one cares what a few people in the HN bubble think. Units sold are units sold, and the total global addressable market for EVs is substantial (60-80 million units/pa, depending on bucketing). I too have personal opinions, but crucially, one should not extrapolate them out to entire markets without a rigorous examination of observations and data. Put your ear to the ground, otherwise you’ll get trampled.
