The internet is the broadest Dunning-Kruger effect experiment to date. Give a man a keyboard, an ISP, and no matter how deep into the knowledgeless hinterlands exist the rabbit hole he has chosen to crawl down, he gets a voice. This deluge of random voices has twisted and knotted our world into something barely conceivable two decades ago. The disparity between information and knowledge is variable. Knowledge is empirical, information, especially the ejaculate of random internet participants is seldom a transfer of the empirical.
The future is always with us, just not in enough volume to be noticed by most. There are two glaringly obvious unstoppable drivers of EV's.
1. Carbon credits. They're a magnificent boon for govts. Create them out of thin air and impose them on anything that moves.The world wide marketing campaign is well underway, Global warming.
2. Demographics. Natural generational shifts, generally, if you're over 35 people just starting college think differently than you do even though you may not believe it. The next generation is not far behind them. The future will provide vastly different tool sets through materials and manufacturing engineering innovation. Don't fight the future.
There are 147 EV mfgs in China. Very few will survive. Tesla has only ~ 1% of that mkt. It's a slog and they may well fail there. Many foreign cos. do. Tesla owns "mindshare", can get financing, can solve mfg. problems and innovate. They have empirical knowledge others don't.
