Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work?

correlation doesn’t prove causation - this was going to happen even if EVs never took off.

Maybe, but it requires someone to move first, so I think EVs accelerated it.

Why do you think that? What exactly about the motor spinning from electrons instead of hydrocarbons makes any difference?

It’s a new product on the market, so it’s an opportunity to really shake up customer expectations. Tesla lead the charge with that and essentially set the standard for the rest of the EV market.

do you also blame EVs for the same shit happening outside the auto industry?
I’m trying to get across that this stuff would have happened even if Tesla never existed.
