CEO of an electric car company recommends that people drive electric cars.

Doesn't really seem like much of a headline.

The statement might be more significant if it was a CEO of a car company that made diesel/petrol cars who said it.

It's more the tone deafness. Most people couldn't afford either a car or a horse barn in 1910 just like most people (in America anyway) can't afford an electric car.
