This is a ridiculous statement, Tesla accounts for less than 10% of global EV sales.

January-March 2018: 304K EV sales, 25K Tesla sales

Apple accounts for a similar fraction of smartphones, but is far more influential than any other maker. Tesla occupies a similar role in terms of EV mindshare. At least in the US, carmakers are developing EVs out of fear that Tesla will succeed and suck out all the profits.
