I just don't see a real competitor to the Model 3 for another 5-8 years.
Why you shouldn’t compare the Nissan Leaf (and other EVs) to the Tesla Model 3
How about—S+X+3=35F."1 Tesla equals 7 Fords"
I don't know if 7 is the actual combine number for SX3 but it should be in hat ballpark.
I'm sorry, did you say "Toyota"? That brand infects all the others on the lot. They obviously didn't have the decent models with decent options of the other brands. Even Honda is pretty low grade. Every time I took my Mercedes (with great navigation) in for service, my loaner had even better navigation, and all my loaners were lesser models than what I owned, but in the same class.I stopped by a Mercedes, Acura, Toyota and Honda dealership this weekend.
Their cars haven't changed much in the past 5-10 years. Boggles my mind why maps/navigation isn't standard on all cars. It's such a requirement in my opinion. Can someone enlighten me? Is it just cost savings? Or is there not demand?
I can’t speak for US, but generally in Norway due to high taxes on cars the entry price is going to be rather high. Hence our entry model would probably be more like the US mid to high level. That again means almost any new car in Norway now has navigation. And even more so for EVs that due to expensive batteries only come in highest trim level.I stopped by a Mercedes, Acura, Toyota and Honda dealership this weekend.

Just to clarify, I went to separate dealerships - one Mercedes, one Acura, one Toyota, one Honda.Maybe go to a dealership with decent cars, next time.
Let’s add in the Model S/X .......
That’s almost 15x as profitable as the average Ford vehicle.
So, 100,000 Model S/X would be the equivalent of 1.5M Ford vehicles in terms of profit.

That was my thought as well. Almost everyone already has nav on their phones with constant updates.No one would use the maps and nav on those cars when your cellphone is better. It's a waste of $3k or more with some other crappy "tech" features.
Oh! That totally eradicates the logic in my message. (It was based on bad input.) I'm surprised. Now, I'll try to pop into some of the MB dealers in my areas to see if it's consistent across areas. But overall, your message is informative: that means competition is slow right now.Just to clarify, I went to separate dealerships - one Mercedes, one Acura, one Toyota, one Honda.

Geely Automobile Holding Ltd has a market cap of $228B. Toyota’s market cap as of today is $202B.
That makes Geely more valuable than Toyota, and the most valuable auto maker in the world. I bet 99% of people out there didn’t know that.
Thanks for catching that. Change made.Dave, from your latest article on Geely:
That is incorrect. Geely's market cap of $228B is in Hong Kong dollars. Their market cap is only about $29B in USD.
