Tesla's cars (and private automobiles in general) are not a compelling vision, they're toys for rich people. I looked it up. About a million Teslas have ever been manufactured. Round the population to a power of 10... 10 billion people. So one human in 10k gets a Tesla. The main thing most climate activists that I talk to want is for billions of people to not have to die off due to resource mismanagement. People don't believe that it's even possible for our civilization to collapse, even though entire civilizations have collapsed numerous times over the course of history. This is not a world we're envisioning, is a world we're ~visioning. With our eyeballs.

Tesla produced about 1.3 million cars just last year (2022)[1]. It has been successfully meeting its goal of an annual production rate increase of 50% per year for around a decade and is on track to continue this until they reach their goal of producing 20 million cars annually in 2030. The outcome is uncertain but the track record is there. This plus fusion power gives a much different vision of the future. The world you envision depends where you are looking.
