So you are going to be the guy who quibbles that “almost everyone” is meaningfully different from the word Everyman whose definition is “the archetypical ordinary individual”. Or maybe you are just unfamiliar with the literary term Everyman.
The average car is an SUV not a car, which is why it’s $40K. But a Tesla SUV is $80K. I agree with you on this day, in the US market it is hard to find all electric competitors. But that is rapidly changing, and has already changed in Europe.As far as the “everyman” thing, average car transaction prices pushed 40k in 2020. Todays base price on model 3 at 37k is decent. Honda clarity plug in is mid 30s, not a direct competitor of course. VW ID4 40k, a closer competitor.
Yeah, that's what the short sellers said. They lost $40B in 2020.My 2c - Tesla is in big trouble. Musk has a history of over promising and under delivering. And now that actual carmakers (who know how to make cars) are starting to build EV's, Tesla has its work cut out for it.
There is much more to the car than building oversized iPad.Yeah, that's what the short sellers said. They lost $40B in 2020.
By the way, if you listen to the analysts, Tesla under promises and over delivers.
"actual carmakers (who know how to make cars) "
I suggest they know how to make ICE cars. Tesla is a pure play EV company.
Even the mighty Porsche failed on their promises.
Was Tesla model 3 ever $30,000? No. Is MSRP range $37,990 - $54,990
“around a $30,000 price point”? No. Was it ever or is it now “really affordable by almost everyone who can buy new cars”? No.
Can Toyota whose mid-trim level hybrid Corolla LE is MSRP$24,920 and unlike Tesla that does not discount, sell at a street price of $21,961? Yes. Can Toyota introduce an all-electric Corolla in base trim not LE for a street price around $25,000 sooner than Tesla can touch that price range? Likely. Can Toyota sell an even lower priced car than a Corolla? Yes. It already does: the Yaris. Is there any reason to believe Toyota cannot also produce a Yaris EV? No.
Keep believing in Electric Jesus..they will be swallowed by the bigger boys soonYeah, that's what the short sellers said. They lost $40B in 2020.

I mean, if you had bought Tesla shares in March last year? You’d be doing alright, but now? At today’s prices? The price just seems so high.12 Sell Rating(s)

Those actual carmakers who have been building ICE vehicles for 100 years are the ones who have their work cut out for them. Building a proper EV is more than taking an existing chassis and body design and adding batteries and an electric motor.My 2c - Tesla is in big trouble. Musk has a history of over promising and under delivering. And now that actual carmakers (who know how to make cars) are starting to build EV's, Tesla has its work cut out for it.
