I doubt anyone is going to have the ability to make 500k plus long rage compact CUV pure BEVs in 2020.
Dipping your toes in the market with capacity to make 10k-50k is not competing with Tesla.
Battery supply certainly will be an issue, but I am keeping an eye out for signs of other Gigafactory scale projects from competing companies. So far there aren't any as far as I can tell.
BMW has committed to an X3 EV by 2020, but it is unclear whether this is going to be built on an EV-only platform or compromised by having EV parts stuffed into an ICE platform.
I am fairly sure that the CR-Vs and Foresters of the world won't get there soon. The CR-V just received full Model change in Dec. 2016 and this particular generation will be in production through the end of 2021. This means that the corresponding Acura RDX based on the same platform will be sold through 2022. The trend for mainstream crossovers seems to be hybridization... evolutionary dead end.
