Its swings and roundabouts Ryan, yes the Germans don't have the experience building EVs but they have the experience in building mass produced vehicles of a certain quality. Having been in the trade for many years thats something sadly cant be denied. Elon just happened to be at the right place at the right time and stole a march on everyone else. Whilst everyone else was still trying to get the most out of a petrol or diesel engine and to make them as efficient and less polluting Elon was thinking electric. He's got to the party before everyone else for sure but he should be looking over his shoulder closely….theres loads of wannabes coming up through the ranks and on top of that major manufactures are bringing out some interesting lines…especially the Koreans.
Id like to see his sales figures in 10 years time.
