It is astonishing how fast technology advances over a decade. Imagine telling 2008 Elon Musk that his startup would sell over 100,000 electric cars a quarter. Mind-blown moment for sure.

Watching Elon Musk describing how electric vehicles work back when it first started reminds me of Bill Gates trying to popularize “the internet” back in the 1990s.
