I dig Tesla, but I wonder if Elon's own goals would be better served if they only produced motors and batteries and novel tech for the other car makers.
The only reason anyone would buy them is because tesla forced them to take electric seriously. And now that's why they can't, they need in-house tech or they're just Teslas with different chassis shapes.
That is the route Rivian is taking and Ford just announced the cancellation of their first planned model. Tesla’s draw isn’t the electric it’s the excellent performance, and incredible technology and user experience. The electric underlies those things but it isn’t the reason it’s a top selling car.
