GM, Ford, and every other car company enter the chat. "It's impossible to make electric vehicles work. There is no charging network, it's too difficult to build, no one likes it". Blah blah blah. Boing enters the chat "rockets that land on their arse are impossible. it can't be done." blah blah blah blah.

Excuse me if I could care less what old industry experts have to say - time and time and time and time and time again, he has proven them wrong.

Relax. It made sense to listen to them and evaluate. I'm just trying to give the information that help answer the question.

"rockets that land on their arse are impossible. it can't be done." No one said that about spacex.... clearly it was possible since it was done in the 90s...

"It's impossible to make electric vehicles work." Really ? What did we drive before ICE engines ? what did humans drive on the moon?
