[@spacegamer85]

Tesla brought seat manufacturing in house due to suppliers not willing to extend credit during Tesla's formative years. Now they (the suppliers/ manufacturers) are crying because Tesla won't give their sales reps the time of day and they are going out of business. This is what short term thinking does to the bottom line.

[@machoopichoo2]

​@@spacegamer85 That and apparently Tesla was not satisfied with the quality and insourcing is in keeping with vertical integration. It's still a bit surprising, as seat making is very specialized. I have some sympathy for the suppliers, as Tesla was in rough shape during "production hell." But, I think they could have been smarter and realized it was unlikely Tesla was going under. Tesla could have found more funding or sold off part of the company.

[@bluetoad2668]

Legacy viewed EVs as small city and 'second' cars which would fit into a complimentary niche with their existing ICE ranges. Tesla showed that the EV is a replacement not a compliment. This point is key because a replacement will kill the value of the replaced. Anyone want a mechanical typewriter or a CRT TV? Thought not.

[@keilder8543]

95% of the vehicles made by Legacy Automakers just barely cover the cost of their overhead. It's that 5% from which they derive their profits. All it takes is that 5% to be shed when people choose BEV over ICE, and ALL their profits are GONE. You can't deny the math. 💵 💲 💵

[@spacegamer85]

Legacy automakers got out of the manufacturing business decades ago - they are in the (final) assembly and finance businesses. Following Neutron jack Welch into oblivion. But it sure make short term "investors" happy as they dismantled these companies.

[@geirvinje2556]

The transition works like this: 1. EV's are bought as a Second car. 2. The hybrid sales soars. 3. The charging infrastructure matures. 4. The EV sales soars. 5. Trucking goes electric. 6. Construction goes electric. 7 farming goes electric. 8. All other vehicles goes electric. PS! And in Norway the sale increase of EV's are going down........ 😂 because the sale are at 88%. So, again.

The Chinese EVs are improving and their sales growth reflect this. However, there are two major differentiators from Tesla that they show no signs of progress. These are Tesla OTA (over the air updates) and FSD (full self driving capability). Teslas are designed from the ground up for ALL features to be controlled by software. Tesla has essentially converted all switches/controls/information to electronic/software operation rather than mechanical operation. Think about it, everything in the car is electronically controlled - electric motor controls, brakes, steering (a la Cybertruck) coming soon for all models, seats, windows, climate control, infotainment, communications, on and on. Of course this electronic architecture is essential for FSD. And of course FSD will be the ultimate safety feature. Human drivers cause thousands and thousands of accidents, injuries and deaths each year. FSD development is very rapidly developing and is now being approved in China for ordinary use by Tesla owners. Testing in the US is demonstrating less than 1 (one) human intervention in a normal driving year and improving rapidly. No vehicle manufacturer on the planet is even close to developing these two essential elements for their products.

[@machoopichoo2]

All great points but I believe Tesla will license FSD, which removes that barrier for other OEMs. That's consistent with Tesla's mission and Elon's deep commitment to saving lives.

[@machoopichoo2]

​@@basicincome549 Absolutely! I get legacy auto clinging to ICE, especially hybrids (AKA fake EVs), and if smart, using those sales to bridge to BEVs, but not to waste more money on developing marginally better ICE engines. Ford is losing like $5B per year on their BEV business. Let's say VW averages $10B in losses per year (knowing this will not be even YOY - hopefully lowering loss per car as they go, but increasing volumes will increase losses). That gives them 6.5 years of runway if they spend this money on BEVs, not new ICE engines. That times nicely for 2030, when 80-90% of all new cars will be BEV, and they could start making money on them. This doesn't account for the losses of ICE sales over that time though - which is to say, they are fucked, anyway.
