Tesla's rise made 2020 the year the U.S. auto industry we
nt electric | Reuters
DETROIT (Reuters) - Tesla Inc and Wall Street made 2020 the year that the U.S. auto industry decided to go
electric. Tesla's market capitalization surged above $600 billion, making the once wobbly startup founded by
billionaire Elon Musk worth more than the five top-selling global vehicle-making groups combined. The
exclamation point came on Friday when Tesla rose to a record high in frantic trading ahead of the stock’s
much-anticipated entrance into the benchmark S&P 500 index.
For 2021, all signs point toward the industry accelerating its shift toward electrification, a turning point as
historically momentous as the launch of Ford Motor Co's moving assembly line for the Model T or General
Motors ' 2009 bankruptcy
Tesla's ascent came the same year that activist hedge funds and other investors ratcheted up pressure on
corporations to fight climate change. Evidence is growing that more investors have concluded the century-
long dominance of internal combustion engines - "ICE" in industry slang - is headed toward a close within a
decade.
From London to Beijing to California, political leaders also embraced plans to start phasing out internal
combustion engine-only vehicles as early as 2030. Pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions undermines
the logic for significant new investments in ICE engines. Thousands of manufacturing jobs are currently tied
to internal combustion in the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Japan and other countries.
Other powerful forces also shook the auto industry's status quo this year. The COVID-19 pandemic stripped
away the sales and profits that incumbent automakers had counted on to fund methodical transitions to
electric vehicles. China's rapid recovery from the pandemic exerted an even more powerful gravitational
pull on industry investment.
WILL CONSUMERS PLUG IN?
This was the year GM Chief Executive Mary Barra and other top industry executives began to echo Tesla's
Musk, saying electric vehicle battery costs could soon achieve parity with internal combustion technology.
Still, it remained to be seen whether consumers, particularly in the United States, are ready to say goodbye
to petroleum-fueled pickup trucks and SUVs.
The best-selling vehicles in the United States remain large, petroleum-burning pickup trucks. Demand for
these vehicles powered a recovery for Detroit automakers after the pandemic forced factories to shut down
in the spring.
The best electric vehicle and battery makers could field models that match internal combustion upfront
cost as soon as 2023, brokerage Bernstein wrote in a report.
"ICE game over with BEV ~ 2030," Bernstein's auto analysts wrote, using the industry's acronyms for internal
combustion engine and Battery Electric Vehicle.
 The shift toward electric vehicles is speeding a parallel transformation of vehicles into largely digital
machines that get much of their value from software that powers rich visual displays and features such as
automated driving systems.
Across the industry, century-old manufacturers such as Daimler AG are scrambling to hire programmers
and artificial intelligence experts.
The capability of software to manage autonomous driving systems, electricity flows from batteries and data
streaming to and from vehicles is replacing horsepower as a measure of automotive engineering
achievement.
Tesla's use of smartphone-style over-the-air software upgrades was once a unique feature of the Silicon
Valley brand. In 2020, the best-selling model line in the United States, the Ford F-150 pickup, was
redesigned to offer over-the-air software updates, making the technology as mainstream as it gets.
THE PANDEMIC AND CHINA
In the best of times, traditional internal-combustion vehicles would have faced huge costs and disruptions
to their workforces to evolve to electric, software-intensive vehicles. But the shock delivered by the
coronavirus pandemic gave manufacturers much less money and time to adapt.
Consultancy IHS Markit forecasts that global vehicle production will not match 2019 levels again until
2023. Automakers will have produced 20 million fewer vehicles by 2023 than they could have built had
output stayed at 2019 levels.
 “Only the most agile with a Darwinian spirit will survive,” said Carlos Tavares, the Peugeot SA chief who will
lead the combined Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler when that merger is completed.
The pandemic also elevated the importance of China to the industry's future. That country's swift recovery
from the pandemic amplified the gravitational pull of its huge market on automotive investment, despite
anti-China rhetoric from U.S. and European politicians.
China's drive to reduce dependence on petroleum is compelling automakers to shift investment toward
battery electric and hybrid vehicles, and re-center design and engineering activities to Chinese cities from
traditional hubs in Nagoya, Wolfsburg and Detroit. Tesla said it will establish a design and research center
in China.
Daimler AG Chief Executive Ola Kaellenius put it bluntly in October: “We need to look at our production
footprint and where it makes sense, shift our production,” he said during a video call. “Last year we sold
around 700,000 passenger cars in China. The next biggest market is the U.S. with between 320,000 and
330,000 cars.”

 Conventions & Language
Features
These will differ depending on whether the text you are discussing is literary or informational.
Literary Texts
The textual evidence you provide might include:
• examples of narrative conventions such as
characterisation, setting, point of view, plot events or
symbolism
• language features such as descriptive language,
figurative language, lexicon and connotation
• structural features such as flash back,
foreshadowing, prologue or epilogue
Informational Texts
The textual evidence you provide might include:
• evidence supplied by the author including facts,
statistics, expert opinion, personal anecdotes or case
studies
• language features such as rhetorical question,
inclusive language, repetition or hyperbole
• structural features such as cause and effect, problem-
solution, compare and contrast
 Your Turn
In this course, we will be reading, summarising and analysing a range of literary and informational texts.
Identifying multiple themes or ideas and analysing their development over the course of a text is a central
skill that we will need to achieve success in the course. You will also need to be able to cite strong and
thorough textual evidence to support the text's explicit ideas as well as your own inferences drawn from the
text.

Now, let's put these skills into practice by completing some analysis activities. Good luck!
