Plus 1. Elon is going down in flames. Manufacturers across the globe are now in the game. Tesla lost money for 10 years without competition. Once the “Singularity Cool Factor” disappears, it’s fork time. |
I don't know, I wouldn't underestimate a crazy person. And based on Porsche's performance number, UI and price premium, I don't think the traditional ICE companies has as big of advantage as some people think when it comes to make EV cars.
