it was probably completely clear to them

Can’t wait for dumb investors to get bailed out again can’t have the engines of finance halt woo woo lets go.

the gap doesn’t seem massive, couldn’t this just be importance of owning a car by “stage of life?” obviously people with kids, jobs, no knees etc… need cars more than uni students.

You actually can’t ‘just all retool the factories’. The mining of certain materials, notably copper, becomes a limiting factor. To produce the worlds 100,000,000 motor vehicles per annum (given a generous assumption of 50kg of copper per electric vehicle) would require 5 million additional tons per year, a 20-25% increase over current figures. Meanwhile the cost of refining increases exponentially with decreasing ore grade.

Sure not every manufacturer would go out of buisness, but the industry would absolutely collapse.
