This has got to be the death knell for Tesla, right? They used to be the only game in town if you wanted an EV with a long range and a design that looks like a regular car, but that hasn't been the case for the last few years. The only real selling point they have now is the robust network of charging stations, and if that advantage goes away, there is literally no reason to buy a Tesla vehicle instead of a comparably priced EV from a traditional car company.
Correct. Tesla will get destroyed in the future when other car companies have fully stepped up. Nobody is buying a shitty made Tesla over BMW or Mercedes or even Hyundai or Kia at this point. The Hyundai iconic 5 N and Kia ev6 or gt6 slaps Tesla In build quality and performance to boot.
Assuming that consumers will be rational is a bit premature.
Tesla wants to position itself as the Apple of cars, and it's largely succeeded. Most techies or people more in the know might be quick to dismiss them, but I don't think that's the opinion shared by the public at large.
There's still a wait time for pretty much any new Tesla
