Pretty sure Tesla hasn’t had the incentives for quite some time and I see more and more of them on the road. Plus you are looking at June to even take delivery of a new Model 3. I thought hydrogen was going to be the clear winner, but I believe there are technical reasons in regards to energy efficiency that have kept it from taking off and at this point I think it’s probably dead. At least for cars.

As for the original article, if it’s true no one wants an EV, why are manufacturers pushing so many new EVs? I swear practically every car commercial I see is for some EV. I’m betting on the automakers knowing more about what’s going on with the market than some dude with no skin in the game.

I think EVs are like LED light bulbs, when they came out they were garbage, they were expensive and looked like shit. Now LED bulbs seems to be the majority of bulbs available at your local Home Depot and pretty much every bulb in my house is LED. Because they got cheaper and better than incandescent bulbs. I don’t think EVs are there yet, but they have come a long way and for many use cases they are fantastic.
