Diesel pickups are for chumps

Tesla is already ahead of the curve on pretty much everything. Largest battery capacity/range, good looking, nationwide super charging network enabling long-range travel, literally the biggest battery factory in the world, hell, the Model 3 has already cracked the top 10 for sales among sedans.

The Tesla 3 cracking the top 10 in sales has a hell of a lot more to do with the bottom falling out of the sedan market. Ford plans to only make 1 of them going forward. The market is primarily CUV/SUV/Truck in this country.

As to scale, people get excited about Tesla trying to hit 5,000 vehicles in a week. GM makes over 8,000 per day. Car manufacturers announce new products and then they show up at dealers to purchase in volume. No fanfare whatsoever. Yet, people get excited when Tesla loses a little less money in a quarter than expected. I'm not drinking the Kool-aid.

Car companies are really good at making cars. To make electric cars isn't outside their ability.

Tesla isn't building base 3's. They're selling $70K+ 3's. The production volume of Tesla is leading to the expiration of some of the 'free' tax dollars subsidizing this horseshit.

WHEN Tesla shits the bed, the vehicles will no longer have OTA updates, etc.
