We might be able to sit in our seats and say that anything they’re doing as a company is a technology that has existed for many years, but for many years people were saying that the tech wasn’t feasible on a large scale for xyz reasons. GM could’ve made an electric vehicle (and they since have) but they weren’t going to make a fast charging network (and they aren’t going to). It was never going to be realistic to have one without the other, so Tesla did both.

Now the market exists where there are companies doing the infrastructure and companies doing the cars. I’d argue that jumpstarting the market was revolutionary. I’d also contend that we’re seeing the beginnings of the another market jumpstart from Tesla in the pairing of battery storage with renewables.
