The Jaguar I-pace already is a good Tesla rival. And now Mercedes will follow.

I think Tesla won't go away but I think in a few years they will be just an other electric car brand.

The i-pace is a very nice car, but their sales challenges make it unlikely to be a serious competitor. I thought about buying one myself, but Jag's reputation scared me off.

I have an outstanding order for I-Pace since march. I don't think they'll manage to ship. The delivery date gets pushed every month. We don't have Tesla here in my country so maintenance is an issue even if you import. That's why I'm not going for Tesla.

What Mercedes revealed today is ugly as hell.

I think Tesla is still safe.
