It's going to be really interesting if the new startup EV companies will eventually win out in market share or if the older automotive companies will manage to pivot first. Feels like Tesla at this point is almost a lifestyle brand which changes the dynamics somewhat.

Tesla didn't change anything, at best they brainwashed you

Renault-Nissan with Carlos Ghosn did all the prep work, and were to first to deliver EV to the masses

That's a lot of money to write off when EV bubble will turn out to be unsustainable because raw materials are already through the roof and energy prices in EU are following same trend. It only gets better when Germans will switch off remaining nuclear power plants.

On the other hand we have chip crisis slowly fading away (thanks crypto crash) and prices for oil preparing for climb down as well.
