It is a possibility. One thing is certain; all the goofy predictions concerning EV adoption are laughable. They were laughable when they first started talking about adoption rates. Even more ridiculous are politicians pontificating, about and legislating required adoption. My favorite part of the article:

Elon worshipers and Tesla Stans love weird crap like the Cybertruck and adore the brutalist interiors of Tesla vehicles. Buttons bad! Shifters bad! Turn signal stalks bad! But, have any of you geniuses stopped to think about whether the average car buyer wants any of that weirdness? If EVs are going to be expensive, maybe we need to try to make them more like the cars people love to spend money on instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
