This headline is weird.

How can it be both "already upending" and "after years of promise". They seem like mutually exclusive concepts

Seems like, but I dont think they are. It's like going from 0 to 60, it's more impressive the faster it happens. We were promised EVs for years, and it's like a fire hose was turned on instead of a slow trickle. Sorry to mix metaphors all willy nilly.
