1. Electric vehicles are not mainstream.

2. Tesla accounts for ~14% of EVs sold.

3. Passenger vehicles account for less than 7% of total CO2 emissions globally.

7% is HUGE. Like country level huge. Besides Teslas impact is not only the EV they have sold. They made EVs popular and desirable. Electric vehicles are definitely mainstream. In my country(Netherlands) 20% of all vehicles sold are electric. In Norway it's more then 50%. You really can't get more mainstream then that.

4. Tesla was able to make EVs profitably thanks to government policy designed to incentivize exactly that outcome. If Tesla didn’t exist, some other company would’ve filled that role.
