I guess several manufacturers are about to introduce the upscale all electric vehicle to compete with the Tesla.
So next question, is Telsa going to be deemed "to big to fail" and get a mega bailout?

Right now the Volvo SPA platform is the vision of the future that all "mainstream" automakers are scrambling to catch up with. By the next generation of cars (next 1-2 years) we'll see many platforms like this which allow "plug and play" integration of ICE, Hybrid, and Full electric in the same chassis platform. This is the stepping stone to full electric 2-3 years after that. It will start with BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Japanese luxury brands, etc then shortly after it will be GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, etc. Gonna be interesting for sure.
