Is Tesla Still Dominating the Electric Car Market? | Drive Torque Podcast Highlights

[@BarryMakariou]

I have MYP it’s a great car does everything you want. I drive it more than my M3 Touring because it’s just so easy especially for shorter trip it’s an all weather monster. Only thing I’d say is the chassis can’t cope with the power I’d go as far to say you don’t have much control once in full flight it’s all over the place. The M3 is completely tied down you are in full control.

100% not just dominating the EV market but in some places the car market. More and more people are realising that an EV works for them and when it comes to EV’s Tesla are the best. They’ve built from the ground up so everything just works. In a world that is so foreign to ev’s, making the total ownership experience as easy and smooth as possible is the reason why they’re still and will continue to dominate. Now they’re beginning to make good quality premium cars which now starts enticing those who have only ever gone with the Germans because of the perceived premium quality. If you haven’t already, you guys should deffo test out the new model 3, performance to maybe better suit your car enthusiasm

Tesla model s has been out 14 years and tesla were also building a supercharger network which is the best network hands down. So for your guest to suggest tesla didn't make any money for years is both true and nonsense. No other 'car' maker has its own network. That's where they money went. There are model S cars in the UK with 430k on, one in Europe has 1.2 million but that one is triggers broom

Guys.... Tesla are way WAY ahead!! Single stamped giga castings, 48v architecture, steer by wire, heat pumps.... These are just a few examples. They (Tesla) keep repeating this quote... the machine that builds the machine... and they are not wrong. The winners will be the people who master efficiencies in manufacturing to drive down pricing!!
