So while California may have a lot of EV's rolling around the fact is that more and more North Americans are rolling in gas guzzling pickup trucks.

Even if people want to move to EV's, the biggest producer of them may be belly up before any significant amount of them can be produced.

With the cost of oil production way way down from where it has been, the pressure to continue using carbon based fuel will only increase from those looking to be as economical as they can be.

Tesla is in a world of hurt and could conceivably be out of business with in a couple years.
