Apparently lots of EV competition coming in the future,
However, What may clearly differentiate tesla further is a superior FSD,
All else being the same. Superior FSD implies pricing power.
If the car is truly an appreciating asset, it’s “game set match, strictly
Club rules” ( bond, James Bond)
To date we haven't seen any EV that begins to approach any of Tesla's current models, mostly because they're bastardised ICE with a motor and some batteries. Where do I see Tesla's advantages:
- Frunk, both for cargo and safety
- Trunk, just blows all other EV's into the weeds - OK, they need an M3 form with a hatch, but that will partially be resolved with the MY
- Range, nothing else gets close
- Performance, nothing else gets close
- Software/Hardware integration, ditto
- OTA - is anyone else doing this, at all?
- Charging infrastructure, guess what...
- And yes, FSD, that's not to shabby ether and improving all the time
Where they do need to improve, and I've said this constantly for the last 5 years, is the fit, finish and quality of interiors, but that's it, just that.
