The number one factor that leads to one future or the other is battery price.

With high battery prices the market stays with hybrids longer.

With cheap and plentiful batteries it moves faster to full EV.

What'll be interesting is if some vendors have access to lots of cheap batteries and so are living in one future while competitors are in the other.

Hah.. also: fear of war (with Iran) -> oil went up -> people think e-cars will be more attractive -> TSLA up.

One time a few years ago, oil went down and TSLA followed. It'd be interesting to see what will happen with the incoming recession (although then all stocks might go down with people pulling out of the market).
