I assume you've seen "Who killed the electric car"?
Yes, interesting movie.
I think the supplier chain is much more fragmented, agile, and competitive these days, so IMO that this is a major obstacle removed. The infrastructure built around the internal combustion engine isn't as rigid as it used to be. Aside from faith in Elon Musk, that's one of the factors that makes me think Tesla is realizable. I am basically betting on a startup disruption of manufacturing industries. More agility, less overhead, and more distributed. We shall see.
