When people try to compare Tesla to Tucker, they should remember that Tesla just sold over 1.3 million vehicles in 2022, I imagine the profit from that will exceed many top legacy auto makers. That continuing rincome will fund more plant and product expansion.
Tesla is away now and brands like Toyota and VW are simply watching it eat into their customers in China and Europe. There’s a kind of inevitability as both brands realise that they simply can’t follow electrification plans of Tesla, GM or even Ford.
