The argument was that Jaguar wasn't serious because they're only making 20k of their electric car in the first year of production. I pointed out that Tesla hasn't produced 20k of any of their cars during the first year of production. That's noteworthy hypocrisy.

We know that established car manufacturers can ramp up quickly if they want to. Can Tesla? So far, the evidence indicates they cannot.

Tesla also didn't have the decades of experience and existing production lines to work on.

>We know that established car manufacturers can ramp up quickly if they want to.

The evidence so far indicates that they don't.
