10 years ago, you could have said that the existing auto industry was better positioned to electrify their existing vehicles than Tesla is to bootstrap their own electric cars out of nothing - but here we are.

It seems like more an issue of desire than ability though right? The existing auto makers were not making any effort so it feels weird to make a comparison.

Not that they’re making an effort they’ve proven they can make electric cars. The only thing they’re missing imo is the ubiquitous supercharger network.

Pretty much every exponential curve in reality is really a sigmoid. So extrapolating on exponential growth works until it doesn't.
