You can really see Chris Paine's progress as a director when compared to his previous effort, _Who Killed the Electric Car?_ (2006). The production value here is clearly much higher and overall the film is much more entertaining. I liked having the multiple parallel timelines between Bob Lutz, Ghosn, and Musk. The addition of the independent maker 'Gadget' I felt was a bit weird -- it seemed like originally the idea was to provide an insight into people who didn't want to wait for bigco car company to create electric cars, but through misfortunes to Gadget it really became more of a human interest story. Still, that's a small downside when viewing the film as a whole. Would love to see an updated, 2020 version of this timeline from Paine!
