Why Tesla's are bad at towing!

The problem with your theory of buggy manufacturers and diesel trains is, electric cars have been around for over 100 years. There's been mass produced electric cars on and off for all those years. How come they still aren't the "go to" form of propulsion after 100 years of refinement?

Yes the gasoline vehicle progressed much faster at the beginning. Battery, motor and digital technology have taken a bit longer. The progress has come from other than the automotive industry. Remember when the world thought Elon was crazy to run a vehicle on laptop batteries? It about took the invention of the laptop to make EVs even possible.

The real trouble for petrol is that progress may slow as resources are increasingly directed toward EVs.

As I said it will be interesting how it plays out. Could be a big break in petrol technology soon that puts EVs back in hibernation. Time will tell.
