I don't see Tesla being ahead in technology. Range at 75mph: 2020 Tesla Model S performance: 222 miles 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo: 204 miles https://www.caran

  The Porsche is $185,000. The Tesla is $79,990. Whatever that one test says, the Porsche is still rated 100 miles under the Tesla in range and is twice as much in cost. That's not exactly tied in tech. And that's just the Model S. Where is the competitor to the Model 3? The Taycan is closer to the Tesla Roadster, except for the 3x range the roadster has. Similar price though. The Model S has no competition. The Model 3 has no competition.

  Where Tesla is ahead is mostly battery production capacity and tech. This is what pretty much every manufacturer is struggling with. For Porsche this is not really that big of an issue since they're relatively low-volume (which is also how Tesla bootstrapped itself) - but for others this is a much bigger problem. Tesla can right now produce a lot more electric cars than Porsche could.
