how again are they crushing the competition? they sell in a year what toyota manufactures in a day. a long reservation list isn’t an indicator of success, it’s an indicator of demand. and the demand, in relative scale, is low.

The competition would be specific models, https://cleantechnica.com/2019/01/04/tesla-model-3-sales-32-...
Rav4 Hybrid also uses some Tesla tech. While unclear if they will continue to dominate market segments they enter, Tesla has been more successful than I ha d imagined by this point.
> they sell in a year what toyota manufactures in a day
You're off by more than an order of magnitude.
Tesla sold 250k cars in 2018, and Toyota makes < 25k/day.
Not to mention the Tesla number is growing substantially, while the Toyota number is flat.

Toyota takes about 2 weeks to do what Tesla does in a year. (10million vs 400,000)
