Tesla made rich people like EVs instead of making EVs viable for poor people. Tongue off boot please

EVs are still going to be the wrong answer to the problem. Sure, more efficient than combustable, but still vastly less efficient than good public transport systems, walkable/bikeable cities, etc. If Elon really wanted to save the planet, he'd be building bullet trains.

I think Musk is unwilling to ignore incentive structure as a necessary component of his plans.

Tesla did help get the economy moving faster to EVs which is a net positive.

I think the way things turned out, anyone could of had that effect Tesla just happened to be in the right place at the right time though.
