If Tesla's goal was to sacrifice itself to bring EVs to the masses, sure. Tesla's models aimed at the masses (3, Y, X) are inferior to their competitors' equivalents in every aspect but one (access to Tesla's charging network), as far as I can tell. That isn't a good position to be in, market wise.

You aren't being objective if you think they are behind in every metric. Model 3/Y has better range, better thermal management, better acceleration, better software, and fewer parts than any of its direct competitors.

I disagree with the implication that a company whose sales are growing 35% a year is sacrificing itself just because the market size is growing faster than they can manufacturer cars.
