Model 3 is awesome car, but I wouldn't say hybrids are dead, not yet. It would be especially interesting to see when commercial solid state batteries with double energy density will hit the market, basically doubling range of existing hybrids and fully electric cars, or slashing price of battery by half with same range (assuming they hit same price eventually).
Bingo!

Solid state batteries is where is at.
