Well the Tesla is not a very available car ( it still take months to get your Tesla ) and the Tesla range of services is not that great in Europe. As for the price point, it is also way outside the price range regular European pay for a car. So that means most likely that is going to either very wealthy people or through company car.
That's area where Porsche can compete easily.
Anyway, main problem of Tesla nowadays and in 2019 is to build enough car. They are like if Apple in 2007 could only produce 1 million iPhone slowly ramping up to 4 millions in 2015. So Porche could very well "beat" Tesla, simply with a larger production capability.
Anyway, that's all good for us and even for Tesla as it grows the market.
What other brand can do to Tesla is forcing them to chose their target market. Either they step up against Porsche as a luxury brand. There is plenty of room in the market for load of constructor - see the current market for reference. Or go for the premium market (i.e. what they are mostly, even if slightly expensive ), which is actually quite a good market (BMW Serie 3/5, ...) but they will need to seriously ramp up their production.
- vvanders 11y agoI'm not so certain Porsche can scale, battery production is going to be a significant limiting factor and I haven't seen any signals that they will have a better solution than the Gigafactor Tesla will have. Also, if you don't want to wait for a Tesla there's plenty of inventory/CPO ones available.
