Tesla sold half a million cars this year. Not a lot in the big scheme of things but every year that number grows, and somebody is losing those sales. Up to now it has been mostly BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc that Tesla has been stealing market share from. But the model Y is just getting started and the Cybertruck is not that far away.
They are also gaining market share in the other part of their business which is of course grid storage, off grid storage and solar.
Should be an interesting decade.

They have the lead, but what happens when others get involved? Supposedly GM has something up there sleeve along with a few of the still in buisness new solar companies. With that, the end date, like the aztec end of days, will most definitely be extended. Telsla is mostly a technology compony, gthere way ahead for now, but when that next technology comes along can they survive? Thats the true question. There implementing and manafatueing is a bit questionable. If they fix that they may be good to go. Like you said, intresting few years ahead!

A crystal ball would be way handy right now.

. I think VW and GM could be players in the next 5 years. VW is racing the clock to have a total EV lineup as big parts of Europe will have a no tail pipe law on new vehicles real fast. GM has a little more time as more of their market is in North America and I think the earliest date for no tail pipes here is 2035 (Quebec and California. BC is 2040 but possibly being moved up to 2035).
Batteries factories will be key. Whoever makes the batteries fast enough wins.

Could be more pressure on Monday but expect it to taper off for a bit until these two factories under construction prove themselves.

Don't know how being included in S&P adds value to the Tesla stocks.
But I made money the trade, so whose complaining. Tesla stocks swung 7% up and down and up today (then down after hours)..
Dang, I did not hold the stocks for long. I got dizzy and sold it, lol.
But watching.

QS, in partnership with VW and supported my Microsoft says they have breakthrough technology of 15-minute charging at 80%.
But again, it's vapor ware until they show us and the techies have tested them.

This is what I’ve been saying for awhile, and we experienced first hand when we bought our first two EV’s. 5 or so years ago. Generally speaking buying the leaf wasn’t a horrible experience but it was definitely lacking. The salesman had zero product knowledge. He tried to talk us into another gas car while the car we were looking at was charging making sure we realized that waiting for a charge would be part of the EV experience...which of course is total BS. The dealership didn’t even have them charged for a test drive.
There are still left over 2019 Chevy Bolts on the lot...and no deals to buy them. Rumour has it that GM won’t make them take any more if they haven’t sold the old stock.
Meanwhile, it’s still 6 to weeks to get a Tesla unless you can find an inventory car that fits your wish list. And no sales people to deal with.
Getting dealers to play ball is going to be tough. It might be tough to compete against an internet sales model.
And then there is Apple.
There has been suggestion of Apple investing into Tesla for a tech partnership with Apple extending it's ecosystem.
But that ship has sailed and it appears Apple will do the EV by themselves.
Interesting!

Competition is good. It looks like Xpeng, considered to be a Chinese Tesla clone, is also starting exports into Europe. Hopefully North America next.
Long term I think Chinese companies are going to be a dominating force in the EV market.

Some 3 years ago, there were already several Chinese companies wanting to build EV cars here. Still none is on the road.
I know, I got a call from one in SoCal asking me if I'll be interested to work for them.

I think the Volvo electrics will probably make it into the North American market. But they are currently built in China. I haven’t seen any scuttlebutt on a North American factory yet.
I know the first Nissan Arriyas will be built in Japan but wondering if they won’t eventually use the leaf factory in Tennessee.
The only other significant North American EV development is the Mexican efforts to build a centre of excellence for EV manufacturing. This all started with Ford building the Mustang E there but apparently there is a push at every level including trades training etc to make it more attractive for other manufacturers to locate their E car/truck manufacturing there. Hope it goes well for them.
GM looks like they are getting serious with their E-car efforts in the US. Took them awhile but they could be major players in 4 or 5 years.
Chrysler? Crickets.
