We just value different outcomes, that’s all. You’re emotionally invested in diversity of ecosystem, and if everything sold is a Tesla, I’m fine with that. Legacy automakers have had years to get their act together, to build charging networks, to deliver on electric mobility, and even now they’re just making a half hearted attempt. If you want better outcomes, build better companies. It’s not Tesla’s fault legacy automakers absolve themselves of innovation and speed. They could swing for the fences too if they wanted to, but that is their choice to make.
There’s a reason Teslas sell well: make something people want and they will buy it. GM is discounting their Bolts by $6k and can’t give them away.

Ah, so now you've changed your tune. It's no longer that I despise Tesla, it's just that we value different outcomes.
Your vacillation is boring and dishonest. You should try harder to keep your story straight.
Not if you want to build industry and infrastucture. Lack of direction and fractured infrastructure is part of the reason why America's EV market is only one third the size of Europe's.
> I know, I know, you despise them.
Then you know nothing. It's funny how you have to resort to emotion rather than addressing the obviously worse situation of single brand chargers and the obviously better outcome of infrastructure than can charge all EVs regardless of brand.
