I wish we see some other ev succeed without Elon musk. Because till then it is very likely that only lies and hype makes mass market interested in EVs. Because without the lies about fsd, self driving and the futuristic hype, Tesla might not be interesting either

The Tesla strategy was to make margin on premium EVs while the big names ignored the concept. Then to transition to mass market EVs before the big names could squash Tesla. We're getting right into the crunch point where everyone is coming out with an electric car. There are a number of entries selling at or around 10k/year, according to this listicle: https://insideevs.com/lists/10-best-selling-electric-cars-us...

I'm also curious to see if Tesla holds the lead it's earned in the US EV market.
