Tesla has two problems right now: fewer cars sold despite price cuts and quality issues are finally reaching courts which may also affect their brand image.

Is this a crisis? Too early to say, but nevertheless this all happend while competitors are catching up and latest offerings from German manufacturers looks very promising. There is a very real chance Tesla can loose the luxury EV segment.

I don't know. I have a 2014 Model S that I'd like to replace. The list of EVs that are actually _available now_ at list price as opposed to an order/wait list or an upcharge over list from dealer is pretty small (another Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Porsche Tacan/Audi eTron GT).

I agree there will soon be more choices, but that's going to be a problem in 2 years, especially in the luxury segment.

That is a really small selection.

This year everyone from Mini to Royce Rolls are selling EVs. Some such as BMW and Polestar are on their 3rd generation.
