Original Note:
This is incorrect. General Motor's EV1, released almost 30 years ago in 1996, was the first production EV created in the modern era by a major USA car manufacturer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1 Musk didn't introduce an EV. Musk purchased an ownership stake in Tesla and years later became CEO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Inc.
