it won't be the first time my thought processes go awry, lol.I'm not sure how you arrived at that conclusion, but it is absolutely the result of faulty thought processes, imo. The Germans are jumping through hoops and cutting through red tape left and right to get Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory built rapidly. And the site is taking shape at an impressive rate! : https://youtu.be/sMO5Di0QQDs
Tesla is a great company and will definitely lead the way in EV technology. And I believe they will be very successful too.
My comment is more related to the 'decarbonisation' and the 'safe the planet' thinking process. My opinion is that they won't make a direct impact, an indirect impact maybe, by inspiring other makers. Think of it like Apple, great company, great leader, innovative, so on. But most of the world can't afford their products, and just buy $100 smartphones. Tesla is the same, Musk said their smallest car would be the Model 3, that's it. That's the equivalent of the BMW 3, or Audi A4, most of the world can't afford that. Heck, I can't afford that. Hopefully, somebody will make that '$100 smartphone' like EV equivalent.
