What I find astonishing from that article is that Tesla isn't absurdly far away from comparable deliveries... I still think of them as a startup as auto manufacturers go, but (2019 totals):
GM: 2.89M
Toyota: 2.38M
FCA: 2.2M
Honda: 1.61M
Ford: ??
Nissan: ??
Tesla: 367,500
The "startup" is already at 23% of Honda, almost 13% of GM. With GF3 coming online, GF4 getting underway, Model Y imminent and more new models coming... At what point can we no longer put "startup" and "Tesla" in the same sentence?
