The movie is shallow in the look at the issues with the automotive industry today. They mistake the change in the consumer trends for something that is a real way forward.
AS long as we don't have batteries, EV is useless. As long as electricity is produced from oil and gas, EV is useless.
The cheerful mood for the idea through the movie is definitely nice. The underdog of Tesla "showing it to the big guys" is very nicely done. (but not true...) The thing I LOVE about this movie, is that it focuses on the technology under the dash - not the useless flashy touch this or that.
It is a good thing that this movie exists, but it less of a true unbiased documentary than a popular mechanics view of US efforts to catch up.
The one thing is that I'd like to see US manufacturers to focus on other ideas as well. (since only part of the EV cars is actually useful for the next 50 years) Rest of the world is not showing up with old technology and lost of smiles, they actually, quietly do something.
