Few people actually want pure EV cars. It's decades before anyone who doesn't have a house or hours of free time to spend at charging stations can reasonably use full EVs. Hybrid make the most sense now. Brand also means a lot. I don't care what tesla does, I get too nauseated at the thought of giving elon money. Even before EVs, domestic vs foreign brand name made a huge difference, especially for non-city folks. In some states, you see a ton of huge pickups that are the opposite of enviornmental friendly. Ford and the like, with the brandname and EV/hybrids that look and feel like gas equivalents will dominate those consumers and in the city good luck making EVs apartment friendly. You have entire generations of people who can't buy a house despite decent salary. Spending money on inconvenient pure EVs makes no sense to them. For most, they would want to opportunistically use the EV component of hybrids. Having ridden in plenty of Teslas (thanks Uber! Lol) their build quality feels cheap, they look terrible after using them 5+yrs, to me at least they are less comfortable than jeep or nissan even, the whole touch screen thing is too unintuitive. They seem to be the car for "i like the idea of cool tech" people. I am sure they will continue to do well but I am willing to bet everything I own that they will not "kill" legacy car companies. They are just not too disruptive enough, and at least a quarter of the population would reject the cars purely because the owner is a massive ahole.
