> I think Tesla has too much headstart, though. Bentley (and most others) simply won't be able to catch up. Everyone says Tesla has a head start. They have a head start on batteries and the motors. Other manufacturers have a head start on building cars and other aspects of what makes a car a car. A Bentley or Rolls Royce is a different class of car to a Tesla. Tesla may be able to make a battery / motor fit for a Bentley or Rolls Royce but can Tesla make a car you can call a Bentley or Rolls Royce? Likewise if you take something like a Porche 911. Tesla might be able to make an electric power train fit for a 911 but can Tesla make a car you can call a 911 with it's handling? There's lots of different markets and no single manufacturer can corner them all. With governments starting to make all new vehicles from 2030+ electric other car manufacturers have no choice but to catch up so will be investing heavily. I think Tesla will grow and will certainly have a spot in the market. At some point they'll be a crossing point where other manufacturers have Tesla's tech and it'll be interesting how Tesla distinguishes itself. The next 5-10 years look interesting.
