Since Tesla came along and caused massive waves within the commercial vehicle sales sector with their 100% electric car and their NCAP 5* rating
The core manufacturers such as Ford, Nissan, Citroen and VW all mocked them, suddenly move on 3 years and the Model 3 is the fastest selling pre-ordered car ever and Tesla open sourced all of their research and IP and now the large manufacturers who are all using this research in their new EV's are eating their words.
Tesla has been at the forefront of EV technology not only in the vehicle side of things but also the battery sciences and charging technologies
Tesla currently have one of the largest battery manufacturing facilities in the world and from this they are now moving into solar powered / solar charged houses, Elon Musk has time and time again gone against the grain, whether it is his SpaceX adventure and the following first car in space stunt, where he sent his own Tesla into space on the back of one of his rockets to offering car finance with bad credit financing system he has now put in place with specific insurance for Tesla drivers (because who knows Tesla cars better than the man who created them)
Elon has become a world leader in crazy shenanigans but allot of people outside of tech dont understand the things he has done when it comes to motor vehicle technology and this is down to the mainstream media failing to give him the props that he deserves
Well when you next get in your EV you will know who to thank its Elon as he has paved the way for the commercial sector to take the punt that was required to make these a more mainstay vehicle then they ever would of been before or if he hadn't taken the chance
