The reason they have to cede to Tesla is because of battery supply. There's a reason why Tesla invested in a huge battery factory and established contracts with a lot of providers so they could churn out the batteries cheaply.

I am not spending >100k on a nice new car with some high vibration, overly-complex[1], put-put-puttering 3 or 4 cylinder motor. I don't care how nice it looks or how fancy the software is.
