There are millions of working, reusable electric cars; and tens of working, reusable rockets (maybe even less than that). Tesla is having problems building factories, but that certainly doesn't mean electric cars are hard to make.

Are they? There’s a lot of electric car companies, they’re just lower volume. Sounds like the question is “Why is rapid scaling of automotive manufacturing hard?”
