I think Elon is on the right path towards the true disruption. He built a solar tile company so people can have a whole roof built from durable and attractive glass tiles with embedded electricity generation, he is building battery storage for people’s homes to store the energy from that roof and he is building better and cheaper cars to park in people’s garages.
If he can get the price point down for the fully intergrated package, he’ll have his revolution because I won’t be pulling my car out of my garage to drive to the petrol station which sells petrol at manipulated prices for too long while my neighbour drives his car out of his garage powered by a free and clean source of energy (ie the sun). The minute my neighbour shows me he is beating me in the game of life I will make the switch and the snowball just starts to get bigger and bigger.
When the price point of that intergrated system falls below the price point of the current fossil fuel system you will have your revolution. Unfortunately to achieve the dream you need people to finance the dream until it becomes a profitable business and nobody knows how long that will take or how much more money a company like Tesla needs to burn to make that dream a reality. Maybe the Chinese can achieve the same a whole lot cheaper, missing the solar roof part of the system. The power can come from hydro or nuclear which are cheaper and less polluting to the atmosphere than fossil fuels.Esh
