You would think so, but Toyota has TWO decades of experience with the Prius, and yet Tesla kicks both of their butts. Still. And I know it’s still fashionable to bash Tesla on HN (Tesla is one of the few companies still pursuing customer-owned self-driving capability even after the overall hype curve has peaked and they haven’t yet reached their goal, so they get lots of grief for that, some of which is understandable), but their electric car offerings are head and shoulders above anyone else still. I’m looking forward to more competition that actually meets Tesla’s level of performance, maybe Rivian (when will they deliver?) or Lucid. The other pure electric cars on the market especially in the US are like toys in comparison (although still can be good value and better than conventional cars). VW I hope will have a good showing, though. Still no one is really pursuing a good charging network solution that is seamless & practical like Tesla’s.
