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. |
It better be better, but you know there will still be problems. And you're exactly right about Tesla. Musk is far too ego driven for his own good. He could have this all fixed by simply hiring someone from the auto industry with actual experience, instead of floundering around looking totally incompetent.
And yes the wealthy will always buy Tesla's because they don't care if their 4th car is a piece of crap sometimes. They love their status symbols. I don't care how inexpensive they become, normal people will absolutely not put up with the issues Tesla's have always had. Tesla is still using the equivalent of 50's era quality control like that wasn't 70 years ago and wondering why they keep making piece of crap vehicles.
