I will post Chuck Jr's post from another thread on here at the end. It was his post that got me thinking.
"That would accomplish Biggee Ee's goal of "the World a better place" and investors (like me) filthy rich.
So what is 5 years of tech research by all the "BIG Automakers" worth? And would they develop a superior product then? Would it take ten years and billions and billions of dollars to catch Tesla?
SO instead, as Chuck Jr suggested, Tesla should make a gigafactory that makes skateboards for the rest of the industry. Perhaps even FSD Packages (and Supper Chargers take over the world en masse)?
The main point? Well come with me... and let's drive the Porsche Taycan. Or just let me condense it... Some of the more honest reviews state...It looks like a porsche, and that is the big difference between it and a Tesla.
So there you have it. Most BEV's of a certain level are going to be like the Teslas AFTER they spend billions fighting tooth and claw for the market. But let's do the right thing to get the world all in on BEV's and save and make them money...while making Tesla a Trillion Dollar company in 5 years... a multi-trillion dollar company.
CHUCK JR's Post:
"My hunch is that Tesla is raising the money to build a skateboard factory and will announce a deal at battery investor day. I don't see how other automakers can compete by building their own skateboard. They will instead buy it and innovate on top of it. Currently no one cares about the skateboard of existing cars, they care about the brand, looks, and features. That will continue with EVs, with range and performance being new variables. If you can buy a skateboard and get close to Tesla's range and perf, why spend billions to develop one?"
To me, the parallels to EVs and the computer industry are too close to ignore.
