What will happen first:

A) Traditional automakers becoming good at making great EVs

or

B) Tesla matching the quality standards of traditional automakers.

The traditional automakers are quickly learning how to make great EVs. Tesla may get away with substandard quality for now, but they won't get away with it a decade from now when ever automaker is producing decent EVs. I hope Tesla improves fast.

Cars are becoming like phones so the model that dominates phones might be the best for cars. Tesla probably knows tbis but putting engineering excellence first can sometimes compress margins.
