Tesla is certainly behind on FSD. What that team has produced so far is nothing short of amazing, but gosh, their boss sure hasn't helped their credibility.
I can say that after experiencing the software of the BMW i4 and the Audi e-tron — holy cow, Supercharger is certainly not the only advantage of a Tesla. Audi's is laughably bad. BMW's is better than Audi's. Both are much worse than Tesla.
The obvious retort there is: but Tesla's competitors will get better. And sure, they will. You're right. But Tesla likewise has their own R&D investments and unreleased products.
I think sometimes when we talk about competitive landscape, we tend to say "Company B will catch up to Company A" while in our minds falsely imagining Company A as being static. Both Company A and B are moving, but in Tesla's case, they had a ten year jump on tightly integrated hardware + software. I think it's likely that continues to yield dividend.

It's literally just a good battery and good charging. That's all Elon has, and that advantage will die in 5 years.
- Geee 4y agoWhat? I just looked at Porsche and they use the standard VW infotainment which is atrocious. In the meantime, you can play Steam games on a Tesla: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEhBzX-6FjA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEhBzX-6FjA
