Is Tesla not far ahead of the competitors?
Im currently sitting at one of the Tesla Superchargers in Phoenix. It’s full of cars. There is a CHAdeMO charger across the lot and I’ve never seen somebody use it.
Have any of Tesla’s competitors (other than the Ford ~~model t~~ mustang) even shipped yet?
“Nikola” appears to have been a blatant scam. Rivian hasn’t shipped. Lucid hasn’t shipped.
Meanwhile Tesla has a month long waitlist (at least), a retail store network, charger network, service network, and is on the 4th generation of actual shipped products.
That’s sounds exactly like spacex to me. The competitors (if you could even call them that yet) are trying their best to copy SpaceX but so far even Jeff Bezos seemingly infinite wealth hasn’t been able to do it.
