The long term issue I see with Tesla is that, while I agree that electric is the future, multiple manufacturers are now starting to enter the space Tesla currently occupies. Up until recently, you didn't have much choice aside from Tesla for premium electric vehicles. By 2024, however, it seems like most of the current major automobile manufacturers will be offering electric options, and a few additional startups are attempting to squeeze into this space as well.
Tesla has some solid engineering to their credit, but they also have a reputation for poor quality control (in fit and finish in particular). It would be one thing if Elon Musk showed some initiative in addressing these QC issues. The recent Twitter diversion however along with other erratic behavior by Musk seems to indicate a lack of focus, at a time where a strong focus at Tesla is sorely needed. Tesla can no longer coast in the EV market, they will be far from the only player in the future.
