Oh quit being so snarky....the article you posted claims things that Tesla wants you to believe....

Never nonce did I say that electric cars won’t or don’t exist. What I have said consistently is that they will not REPLACE all cars currently on the road

Oh well this is easy. I don’t think that electric cars will replace ALL cars on the road either. Neither do I want that to happen. Rather what I want is for the two systems to go head to head in a competitive race that drives efficiencies up and costs down—and eventually kills the price of oil. It doesn’t take but a small bite out of demand to deflate oil prices as events are proving now.

Coal and natural gas in equivalent btus are currently priced at about $35@ barrel. That’s where I want oil prices to go. That’s where I think they’ll go in 10-15 years.

Of course another technology that will skim off demand for oil in the next decade is conversion over to natural gas trains trucks and buses plus large commercial buildings in the northeast.

Feel free to disagree.
