A single data point certainly does not make a trend, but VW has actually tried to compete and had to change their tune rather quickly by admitting that Tesla has a sustainable lead in the EV space.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoI think that is fair evidence suggesting that tesla can hold its own in the EV space. That said, Im not convinced that this is an existential threat for any of the top manufacturers. If tesla has the entire EV market for the next 10 years, it will become on of the top manufacturers, not eliminate them. Hell, they could even be synergistic. Tesla charges a consumer premium for clean EVs, sells the credits to auto manufacturers, who get to sell high profit/ low mileage vehicles.
