Volvo didn’t do it first though.

Tesla wasn’t the first with production BEVs, either. Or first with any kind of EV, production or not. Companies built them anyway.

No but as I said, Musk's mission with Tesla was to make BEVs widely available. Tesla may never be able to make a cheap BEV but they have grown the market and driven economies of scale that allow others to make competitive BEVs.
