> Once EVs make economic sense for the majority of drivers (probably in 5-7 years), I'd expect each of the large German manufacturer to have 10+ models on offer. With the knowledge around other aspects of the car and their production capacity they can probably make up for the delay within a few months' of production.
Makes sense except I think Tesla themselves will be a big player in 5-7 years. It's not going to be a walkover. Specially since setting up battery manufacturing needs time and expertise they (German corps) don't have.
- dx034 9y agoI also think that Tesla will be a big player but not the only one. There are currently probably around 10 large car manufacturers. Tesla can replace one of them but not all 10. Large manufacturers can likely progress fast on new technology so I'd guess that this will just lead to further concentration and another smaller player disappears (if there's still one left).
