I visited a museum exhibit about Tesla and saw the car that allegedly inspired Elon Musk to start making electric vehicles
The famed sledgehammer and ball that took out Tesla's Cybertruck prototype.It was fascinating to learn the history of electric vehicles. According to the exhibit, nearly 40% of cars were electric at the turn of the 20th century. There was even an electric vehicle from 1908 on display.However, the exhibit argues that the production of Henry Ford's Model T made gas-powered cars more available and affordable than EVs, changing the course of history.
The General Motors EV1 was leased to customers starting in 1996. It was an unprofitable venture, and by 2003, GM recalled all EV1s, and most were destroyed.While Toyota's 1997 hybrid Prius began to soften opinions of gas alternatives, the exhibit shows that Tesla, with help from Elon Musk, was the primary car company that helped bring about the acceptance of battery EVs.
