Tesla was the first company to show that ev were an economically viable solution, and demonstrated to the world that old companies were unprepared for the future, willingly jeopardizing any innovation, if a newcomer could so easily solve the problem. That's why tesla became a stock bubble and elon is so full of money.
And everything was true at the time, traditional car companies were unfit for the challenge. Old, corrupt, bureaucratized monsters actively blocking any type of innovation. If you read automotive ceos interviews at the time, they were betting on methane to be the only viable future. Methane, not joking... Like they didn't even consulted a junior chemist to know how stupid of idea it was... Traditional car companies are unfortunately much worse than elon. Simply their ceos are not on X... They are to old and technically inept to do so.
Elon is bad, but the rest is worst for everyone. We shouldn't cheer for those companies getting back the power they are luckily losing. Luckily for humanity future
Older companies are not stifling innovation the way you think they're doing, in fact, I think there are fascinating research being done these days. As for the fact that their CEOs are not on Twitter, isn't that a good thing? Would you want the CEO of a company to tweet something idiotic at 4 in the morning, wreaking havoc on stock prices and driving the company into firefighting mode, detracting energy from other parts of work?
It is absolutely good they are not on Twitter, elon unfortunately is not the answer.
Research-wise, old companies have proved for decades that they actively bribed politicians and cheated to jeopardize innovation.
I don't know what research you are referring to, but traditional automotive companies haven't moved forward since decades. They refined old, inadequate technologies to a extreme level until the reality bit them and they are now they're chasing.
Automotive sector, between elon and the old, corrupted, incompetent monsters, looks bleak
Batteries, energy, computer vision, deep learning, and crash safety. I'm most excited about better and better virtual human body models reflecting actual human sizes (male, female, adult, children, obese, average sized...) being released for testing, instead of the old default-male crash dummy.
Having said all that, I only use my car on holidays. I bike to work and prefer to take long distance trains for work related trips. So, yeah, fuck cars and fuck ever expanding roads. Streets are for humans, not for cars and parking.
The GM EV-1 in the 1990s was an absolutely viable electric car that was lease-only, and practically every letter wanted to keep the car once the lease was up, but GM took them all back and crushed them.
The feasibility was there. The will to market it was not.
This is exactly what I am saying! Without tesla, market would be on the same position, because the lack of willingness came from the corruption of the existing automotive companies of the time.
You are confirming what I am saying. Old car companies are even worst than tesla... This is the bleak situation we are living
You are so utterly clueless about cars, the car industry, and pretty much everything involving ICE and EV cars. You are far better off just stopping right here and stop commenting on subjects you know jack shit about.
I am happy you know better. Because than you know I am right.
Otherwise I'd follow your own suggestion, and stop commenting on topics you don't know jack shit about
