CAFE dictates that they better get in on the game. FCA is going to find themselves in a boatload of trouble for example. Having other ICE cars to maintain will prove to be a huge asset as that diversifies the revenue stream which can subsidize initially unprofitable ventures. Many ICE cars are insanely profitable. Having all sorts of platforms they can utilize will only decrease their costs due to economies of scale. The advantage with Tesla as you stated is that there is no compromise as every vehicle they sell was designed from the beginning to be EV only.The advantage that Tesla has is they're solely electric vehicle, whereas other manufacturers still have ICE cars to maintain. I mean what other manufacturer is even solely committed to electrifying vehicles as Tesla? Nissan, GM? Faraday Future?
We will have to wait and see. I want Tesla to succeed, but the financial hurdles alone are mindboggling. Then you have the logistics related complications they are facing.
