It has been 30 years since the GM EV1. The electric vehicle has finally reached a tipping point.

I remember seeing a red one parked daily somewhere on campus at Georgia Tech back in 96.

In the UK:

Tesla just got overtaken in the UK by 2 Chinese brands you've never heard of

Jaecoo and Omoda (!)

I had indeed never heard of them. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-sales-uk-overtaken-chi...

this prob didn't help https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/activists-place...

It probably helps a lot that those Chinese companies have Right-Hand-Drive models, while Tesla abandoned it in at least their X and S models. The societal backlash is also bad - my doctor recently told me his colleague found his Tesla covered in red paint one morning.
