> Do you really think that the guys at VW and others can't figure it out? It just takes a while. Probably, yes, but Tesla does have quite a head start. This is also something both professional and armchair analysts have been saying for the last decade. "The big automakers will just throw their weight around to catch up." They still haven't caught up. They probably will someday, but having the head start and the lead during an inflection point period is quite valuable. > now they are in the driving seat in terms of numbers on the markets that are truly developed (in Norway Audi, VW and others are eating Tesla's lunch). I mean, lets compare apples to apples. In 2020, Tesla sold ~500k EVs worldwide. Audi sold ~50k EVs. The remainder of the VW group sold about ~175k EVs. Tesla is still significantly ahead despite your characterization.
