the road to recovery will be long and hard. tesla hit everything perfect, built charging infra before they had many cars, started with luxury roadster/model s and built a brand. showed the world EVs don’t have to be uglier and smaller versions of prius. the owners overlooked A LOT of insanely subpar things about the cars because of all this.

now there is serious competition that did not exist before and every single price point (model 3, model y, model x…) there is serious and pound-by-pound superior competition. add to that all the politican nonsense happening and you got a perfect storm.

not impossible of course but I think tesla has an uphill battle ahead
