Tesla’s dominance in the electric car market is very apparent and not going anywhere. Every electric bmw and Audi has been announced as a “Tesla killer” for 5+ years now. And they have done nothing.

I also find it ironic for an Apple advocate to make a judgment of long term success based upon market share.
The entire sectors growth is unprecedented. Tesla has cash flow issues caused by incompetence. These will catch up to it. Tesla isn’t as dominating as you seem to believe, VW sells more electric vehicles in China than Tesla — and both are far below the sales of Chinese manufactures. Why does this matter? Because rates of electric car adoption in China outpace anywhere else on earth, the consumers there are defining who will ultimate win.

To be absolutely crystal clear: my argument wasn’t at all about market share. It was about the limited window Tesla had to define the standard of electric cars... they didn’t capitalize, and so their competition from new and old car companies has caught up and in some markets is outpacing their sales... the lack of proper management will only exacerbate this over time...
