  Yeah other car companies are really, really good at announcing new car models. I mean look at GM, so amazing by 2025 they are gone have 30 EVs. Of course in the last 6 month they have sold less then 10k EVs, about what Tesla does in a week or so. But I guess they announced many new models. > Fact is, Tesla blew a lead and aren’t impressing. A lead in what? They are dominating both in terms of volume and in terms of profitability. A few years ago everybody was hype about how VW would blew Tesla doors within a year or two, well turns out Tesla still matches VW for growth. > Hell, when was the last time Tesla released a new car? The question is, what is the goal? To release a car because you have released a car? Is that your goal? Because what matters in the real world is growth and profit. And if you have a fixed supply because of chips and batteries. Just building more different models while you can still sell your existing model is just financially idiotic. Other manufactures like VW spend billions to turn the ID.4 into a Skoda that is basically the exact same inside.
