Very poor breakdown. Bigger companies do not invest money for only 2. 5% market share. They waiting for prices do go down and for electric market go grow. Once electric market show rapid growth bigger companies will start to invest a lot more money and produce dedicated electric platforms. Now most platforms are build only with hybrid in mind and there are very few purely electric platforms. Just biggest companies are not interested to much yet and they just make small steps to see how market reacts. Once electric market grow enough ( at least 10%) you will see more and more money will be invested. Tesla is nothing in terms of resources front of VW/Audi, Toyota/Lexus etc companies. Once big guys decide they will enter fast and will be better. Tesla will remain at best with US influence and it s very unlikely to be a leading global car maker in the future. Building electric car is far easier already than hi tech standart one. It s not a problem for anyone to build cheaper and better car than Tesla. they just do not want to do it yet. Tesla is best now and they just surfing the hype now. that s nothing in terms of long term planning. They have less than 1% market share globally. Who cares.

I by no means have any brand loyalty for any car company. None of these companies care about you, or me they are trying to make profit and that's the cold hard truth that a lot of us car lovers aren't willing to accept. With that being said I find it hilarious that all of these companies shit all over Tesla being a company that has not been around more than 17 years has some issues with their paint and other minor concerns and the auto industry/big 3 shit all over them Meanwhile. Chevy still can't build a transmission or make any decent interior that doesn't fall apart 10 years later. Ford Can't figure out electricity for some reason, and thinks a base model interior marketed at an XLT is worth 38k. Dodge makes great shipping crates for a cummins motors. The shipping create being the entire body of the truck. Toyota is great at making frames rust to shit and can't make a interior from the 21st century. And all these companies have been in the industry for over 100 years BUT GOD FORBID AN AMERICAN COMPANY THAT HAS 17 YEARS OF SKIN IN THE GAME! Has paint issues or some minor software issues.
Sincerely,
A Toyota Tacoma Owner.

Electric power is awesome, but the big turn off from current EV offerings is the rest of the 'features'. I'd be interested in a raw electric vehicle with some simple analog gauges, no screens, cupholders, infotainment, smart, or power anything, just a power switch and maybe a 3 way toggle for different power maps. It doesn't need a smartphone or RFID tags or internet connectivity, or 'self' anything, i wouldn't pay for 'features' that are useless to me. Also, give me at least 18 of ground clearance and put all that engineering effort into better suspension instead of smart seatwarmers or whatever silly 'luxury' things that people think they need.
I'd rather find an old 80's Toyota 4wd and toss some batteries, motors, and beefy suspension at it than consider a modern EV.

Good work on this one. I've been neck deep reading up on all EV technology for almost a year. Practically a part time job for almost 6 months of it. The points that I would suggest you were off on are so abysmally small that itd literally be nitpicking like a troll going after grammar. EXCEPT FOR PROFIT. They are profitable and have been for about a year, they're even eligible for inclusion in the S&P500, which is a big deal.
My take, as a lover of EVs and ICE cars. EVs are the best daily. Reliable, fun to drive, and cheap to run. They're also getting cheaper steadily. You can get some low miles versions like the egolf for new chevy spark/hyundai accent prices.
ICE? Great for projects, and the track.
It's all about how you use the tool.

Not turning a profit at this point is akin to tax writeoff. For a still growing company, it's not a bad thing. Sitting cash is just an asset that isn't working for you. It's better to spend it to grow and expand the business (in China, EU, and internationally.
The manufacturing is now mature enough to turn 20% gross margins on their cars (source: CNN) which is higher than any other auto manufacturer. So, they may not be turning a profit, but they're not like other tech companies that are burning through their investments without a foreseeable profit model.
Elon's has said that the model 3 was their make it or break it point. Hats off to Tesla for getting the job done.

I gotcha! Tesla sold their cars AT A LOSS for a significantly long time. Year and years and years. Every car sale was them giving out money. How did that work? Well, their financing pipe as large enough: . The interest they owe is really what made them loose money. But, by doing this, they were able to gain experience and reputation! Now they re making money (they are actually), mediocre/poor income, but with a MASSIVE kickass head start. Now their thin profit margins are finally allowing them to earn income by selling enough of the cars. For anyone asking the question or why to this video s answers, I hope that explains it

Tesla needs to refinance debt in 2021, or it goes under as well. But, when you are a front for the purchasing of lithium for the covert assembly of nuclear weapons you are protected by those that want nuclear weapons. Lithium is needed to make nukes and most of the worlds lithium is in countries that do not really like the US or would use it to get favors.

Not anymore globally, other brands are definitely catching up. Tesla is not the tpp selling brand in Norway anymore for example, a pioneering country regarding electrification and highest amount of EVs per capita.
Tesla won't ever be taken down but it might as well be kicked of its throne or at least has to share it in the future.
