they're saying that tesla appears to be adapting with every new model pretty well.
tesla's main problem has always been that they insist on starting from the ground and ignoring that anyone else has attempted to tackle similar problems. as a result, they hit the same snags everyone else hit, but they're doing so in a more modern era, where such mistakes are more obvious, and less acceptable.
i believe that gm will eventually outsell tesla, but not in the same market space. it is and has been interesting to watch tesla attempt to move downmarket with their product selection, while every business plan in the world involves moving products upmarket.
the people that want a tesla are not really the same as the people that want a gm. same with toyota.
it's like an article proclaiming "pizza to outsell kobe steak" the headline isn't wrong, it just pays no attention to the metrics or reality of how and why more people will buy pizza than kobe steak. |
I have been watching a few of Monroe's videos on the Model Y teardown. Overall, he seems to be very impressed. The car isn't problem free, but he is often giving it praises above anything he has ever seen in the past.
Tesla is designing the cars to last a million miles. Many people would not use a car that long, but if they did accomplish such a thing, it might cannibalize vehicle sales in general, yet this might be the plan all along.
