The Taycan is $150k - it is not a mass market EV.

The VW ID.3/4 are not coming to North America.

The eTron, last month sold 434 units in the US. The Model X sold 1,675 in the same month in the US. The Model 3? 20,250. The I-PACE sold 160 units and the EQC isn't being sold yet. The eTron has been a massive sales disaster, sales are not growing. https://insideevs.com/news/369439/august-audi-e-tron-sales-u... https://insideevs.com/news/373812/ev-sales-scorecard-septemb...

I'm not trying to say Tesla has no risks at all, but you have to _really squint_ to not seem them as the clear market leader currently. The Model 3 simply has no competitors today - and to invoke the Taycan is about as disingenuous as it can get.

Ahh, I see - the line must be at $120k, right? Since I can order a $115k Tesla which is somehow mass market?

a) Model S isn't a mass market EV either.

b) VW ID.4 is coming to the US.

c) There is more to this world than the US so not sure why you seem to restrict the sales there.
