He openly allowed competition to copy the vehicle design and gave up the patient because he is not stupid to let go the customer base, he quickly realized that charging stations aka fuel stops what make Tesla a special category. He initially approached Merc to assemble the EV but they just ignored. You should really pick his mind on this. Even if rest of the competition sell EV for $25k I don't think it can beat Tesla if they don't make charging stations accessible (which I don't think anyone can even build the network with-in 2 years). he invested lot of time and money on the supercharging stations. Just look at the map. Quote

I am telling that’s what it takes competition to catch, Tesla is tech first and car next but if conventional car company has to transform like tesla 10 years time is what it takes is my point Quote

Just look at the map. I own a other EV, last week was running low on charge and had to find a nearest charger at a mall on PlugShare app, made there only to find a effing leafs hooked on those slow charging buggers, literally had to wait 3 hours to get my turn and only then I realized what it is to have a tesla supercharger Quote

Just look at the map. if ev goes into mass market i am sure there will be a common charging accessory for all ev cars...mostly people with own homes prefer ev and that too as a second car at least for the next 10 yrs Quote
Mitron Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 3 hours ago, tacobell fan said: Tesla CEO Elon Musk dropped an email to employees last night at 1am PT which was posted to the SEC and on its own News site. In it, he details the challenges ahead for Tesla as it tries to reduce the price of its Model 3 to the $35,000 price point and make its other products more competitive to fossil fuel equivalents. The standout statistic is that Tesla will reduce its workforce by 7% to try to make its products more cost competitive. That 7% doesn’t seem dire when shown against the 30% employee growth Tesla accumulated last year. Tesla also again plans to retain only the “most critical temps and contractors” as well. This is after Musk ran a brutal review of contractors last year after he found that a great deal of waste in the sector at Tesla. Musk also noted that Q4 wouldn’t be as profitable (but it would still be in the black) as Q32018 in which Tesla reported its first significant profit of $312 million. Tesla (TSLA) shares are down in mornings pre-trading almost 7%. @sinthakaai Quote

Although it offers a higer degree of automonous the radar equipment looks ugly sitting on top a car and needs to be miniaturized Quote
