Given the UK's commitment to ban the sale of new fossil fuel cars, and the likelihood of the EU following suit, I think Tesla's lunch is about to be eaten.

Why do I think this? Well, up until now none of the European car manufacturers have made any real efforts to design, build and market a corporate road warrior car (think Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall/Opel/GM Vectra, BMW 3 series etc). The kinda thing that batters up and down the M1, M4, M6 etc with a member off staff, a laptop and their suitcase.

I reckon their R&D depts have been quietly busy on the problem of extended battery life etc, but for now they're milking the ICE for all they can get. It takes on average 6-10 years to bring a new car to market, when properly focused. I reckon the big European names are now very focused. It's tick-tock time for Tesla.
