Analysts in Elon's battery day said that Tesla is indeed way ahead in the battery technology.
Except that it was a letdown that there was no mention of the expected 1 million-mile battery.

For us in BC the cut off for anything with a tail pipe is Dec 31 2039. I would think it will happen before that though as public support is strong for EV’s here, infrastructure for public charging is moving along quite well and EV truck availability will happen in the next couple years. Last year 9 percent of new vehicle sales here were electric or PHEV and this year that number is expected to be around 15 percent. Some European countries are already north of 50 percent ish.
Europe may yet come ahead as Nordic countries are at 45 to 50ish, as you said and they'll snap up every Tesla that comes out or arrive.
Don't know if I recall it correctly. Every new home in CA is already equipped with solar -- standard or mandated?
VW is going to make some serious inroads into the European market with the ID3. It won’t be sold in North America (although the ID4 will). The ID3 doesn’t have some of the fancy tech or range options or charge speeds as the model 3 but it is about 5 grand cheaper and should be over the air updateable. It is also relatively slow compared to the model 3 but a lot of people won’t care about that. Looks like a nice little car from a distance. I personally think this is the market that GM will try to target with the new Chevy Bolt next year in the US. Should check a lot of the same boxes although no word on weather it will have over the air updates available or weather they will finally have a decent charge speed.

In what year? What will be the range at 200 mph? And at what cost?
Seems just like the same marketing that Elon fans were complaining about from the other EV companies.
The difference is that Elon has the track record of delivering (though not exactly on his promised timeframe).

California Gov. Newsom executive order bans gas, diesel cars by 2035
Tesla should have huge sales numbers by then and skyrocket after that.

Forget all this, I was impressed and amused by the way the shareholders meeting was conducted. Livestream Internet and for the lottery draw winners, a parking space at the Fremont factory with Wi-Fi streaming to all those Teslas in the parking lot. Social distancing and resourceful!

I see they still use the deceptive pricing on their order form.
I just noticed Dodge is selling the Hellcat for $35k**
**price does not include the $60k in fuel savings if you don’t drive it.
