> I have faith that GM or Ford can ramp up production of EVs far, far faster than Tesla can figure out quality control and how to build an interior that's something other than spartan.
Even if GM or Ford hit their own targets (and historically they haven't) they are not close to overtaking Tesla.
And Tesla quality is actually fine. In terms of recalls and major issues Tesla had very few. In terms of fit and finish maybe there is a difference to your BMW, but compared to GM/Ford vehicles at the price the difference is not that big.
In terms of battery and drive train Tesla has performed way better then the others. Ford had massive issues with their PHEV for example. GM just recalled every Bolt and stopped production. The list goes on.
Tesla has managed to scale 50% almost every year for a decade, what exactly could they do to prove this to you other then doing it? They have 2 new factory that are opened shortly, do you believe somehow they managed to get the China factory producing at 500k run rate but other factories they wont be able to do it?
> That's just busch league.
Go look threw the history of GM recalls if you want to see real busch league kind of stuff.
