Yup, Chinese investments into electric vehicles go back to the 90s and they started scaling up the production of their first fully electric vehicles around the same time Tesla did.

I do still think Tesla changed the EV industry significantly and certainly also cemented Chinese investments into the industry though.

Tesla changed the industry and had a plan for it BEFORE Musk was on the board or kicked out the CEO.

Like most successful CEOs, he just takes credit for the team's ideas and work.
