The progress for your situation might be zero. But every day, there’s new Teslas being shipped and people finding more value in it than competing EVs. That is “pulling ahead”.

That’s not “pulling ahead”. That’s “continuing to proceed at the same pace”. If they stopped selling cars to more people, they’d be “falling behind”

  Seriously? It’s one google search (1) to confirm that their delivery numbers are quickly growing YoY. https://www.statista.com/statistics/502208/tesla-quarterly-vehicle-deliveries/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/502208/tesla-quarterly-v...

That's a pretty weird statement - by that logic all major companies are pulling ahead since they're all selling units.

  Are they also selling EVs? Are they delivering valuable features?

    Why is it only “pulling ahead” if I sell EVs?

      Why are you comparing apples to oranges? Would it be meaningful to compare a diesel truck company with a jet fuel plane manufacturer?

What is your source? I see lots of anecdotes about Tesla service problems which doesn't seem like more value. I believe Tesla in general has a fairly dismal quality rating, but IIRC they don't allow participation in stuff like JD Power surveys.
