Except ford is losing a ton of money on EVs. I think yesterday a report came out their margins are -44% on EVs.

While they might be selling some EVs, they’re pretty far from what Tesla is doing as a business.

Ford and GM can't ever follow through on their own BS and become "electric only"

What is GM's cash cow? Pickups and the Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban/Escalade platform...pretty much the polar opposite of "environmentally conscious" products

Ford? Same thing, monster F150s

These companies aren't killing their cash cows

Indeed, I expect both companies to dramatically tone down the rhetoric on EVs soon and just refer to them as "alternatives"

Or even worse, start PR campaigns highlighting the inconveniences (charging times etc) of EVs

Im not saying Tesla will always be the leader, but anyone who says they're not now just needs to try to take a long road trip in a mach-e vs a model-y. It will be completely clear who is winning in EVs, from comfortable through the technology and supercharging.
