EV conference, no mention of Tesla?

It could be me and a lack of concentration but I just heard this bit on NPR (OPB) about electric cars and mysteriously Tesla seems to be missing from the discussion. I could be wrong, getting more attention deficited by the minute. Transcript attached.

Many of the participants had a hard time naming even one electric car model.

Amazing level of cluelessness here. The conference organizers, the public who was invited and the reporter all seem to be oblivious. Not sure which rock they have been living under but it's well insulated.
