You are misreading my comment. I didn't claim anything negative about Leaf or Prius. The Tesla S is an absolutely better car than Leaf or Prius. And since it costs much more, it should be. If we weight for price, that depends on your price sensitivity.

Regardless of the appeal of the Model S, Toyota is much better at making cars in volume than Tesla. Similarly, I'd rather have a McLaren than Tesla (or Toyota), but that doesn't speak anything about the talents of either firm at mass producing cars.

- robotresearcher 9y agoThis thread is a response to: > Tesla certainly did a lot better than other attempts at electric cars You have decided that that claim hinges on their ability to mass produce cars. I think Tesla has done more for the electric car market than any of the other companies. I can't justify that with data, but I think it's a reasonable position. We have different points. I'm not missing yours.
