No one claimed that they invented electric cars. Their electric cars simply perform 50% better than the vast majority of other electric cars in every aspect, speed, acceleration, range (very important). Then you can also add design, driving comfort, software integration, where they beat any other electric car (manufacturer). Thus, their technology is vastly superior. Mastering manfucacturing isn't easy for a young company, though, it simply takes time. The other car companies had more than 100 years to figure it out, give Tesla a few more years to catch up with them.
