TBH I'm suprised at the disruption being caused more recently by Tesla's new Model 3 BEV without mentioning of Space X LEO space delivery rockets also .
100,000 + pre orders & deposits in a day or two for an untested automobile ~ 2 years out from delivery is unprecedented while the big automakers sell ten million + total Units a year this is still surprisingly disruptive for a single product from a small BEV mfr.
Could be This when the established automakers get into BEV & BHEV (more very soon ) and or OIL stays cheap
Model 3 pre orders were obviously from Tesla Fanboys and status seekers ( & how many of those will hold up? ) Maybe not the broad auto market that doesn't pre order cars 2 years out and Panasonic didn't go in on the Battery Giga plant just for Tesla.......... they have a big electrical power products div. and other automotive /motive/power product & solar energy storage customers
