When you say "electric car" to someone, is it Toyota that the other guy thinks of? In the US, Tesla owns that space in auto buyers' minds, just as Saturn owned the "small car" slot in 1990. I think that's less true worldwide, but they're working on it. In any case, if an established automaker does beat out Tesla for EVs in the long run, chances are it won't be Toyota. They dropped that ball about 8 years ago and haven't found it again yet. EV time is running out for Toyota, especially in Europe and Asia.
