Actually Tesla has figured out how to mass produce an EV that reliably works. That has not existed since the 1800's.
None of the major players have been able to achieve this feat to date!
Its more than just hype or old news. Tesla has built the platform that will eventually replace the ICE.
It's more of a money,mindset issue than a technical issue at this point. Tesla has established a real live working blueprint for the vehicle itself.
Sure they have...even back into the 1800's EVs were more reliable...probably even more so compared to the ICE of the day. The problem was and still is energy storage.
The Tesla I drove had no problem with energy storage. I pressed the pedal and it took off like a rocket. However the silence was erie no engine noise. No clanking, no rumbling, just swoosh. Like fast forwarding a movie things just passed by the windshield.
Did that happen in the 1800's
