Tesla is forcing a switch to electric drive to deliver high performance, and once the wheels are turned with electric motors, even hybrids become more fuel efficient.

Diesel engines driving wheels end up being extremely polluting, but diesels turning generators at fixed speeds are much less polluting, so European automakers who use a lot of diesel to meet EU fuel efficiency standards are going to electric drive.

China has made electric drive a national priority and mandate.

If GM and Ford do not go to electric drive asap, they will lose market share once again to global automakers and this time go extinct.
