Why Can’t Anyone Take Down Tesla?

День томуTesla is the undisputed king of electric vehicles. The Model S, Model 3, and Model X were groundbreaking cars in their own right, and there seems to be no end in sight for the California automaker. But one question remains: Why are established brands having such a hard time keeping up? Mercedes, Chevy, and others have all released their own EVs - but none of them have touched Tesla. What’s up?

Yep, Tesla's the only company that's actually building infrastructure for electric cars. That's why I want one; they are literally the only option for an electric car you can easily take on roadtrips. I'm assuming the other carmakers haven't just hooked onto the Supercharger network because it's owned and run entirely by Tesla, which isn't favorable for them. But then in that case it's frustrating that none of them are even trying to compete...

💯 I have driven Bolt long term and Tesla’s long term. I would never hesitate to drive a Tesla on a road trip. The Supercharging network is a game changer for quickly recharging. 50kw chargers leave you charging for hours on end. I have heard rumours of why other manufacturers cannot use Tesla’s Supercharging network. The actual fact that owning a non Tesla and not able to use a the s/c is a game changer. Tesla will continue to detroy and own the entire ev market.

Actually it pretty much was. That was a test launch in which they wouldn't want to carry any real high-value cargo - normally payloads for such test launches are concrete blocks. They offered for research institutions (universities?) to put payloads or other cargo in it, but none took them up on this. Thus the only cost was the car itself - Musk's personal car - and I suppose the fabrication of the mounting.

As a tech for a GM dealer... I worked to earn my certs for these vehicles because it's exciting to me and cutting edge tech. But, I can tell you that in some areas, EVs are being hurt at the dealership level. Salesmen don't know how to sell them and don't care to learn anything about them. I personally drive a Volt, in a town full of all kinds of hybrid/ev owners... Yet I was told by a sales manager "There's no market here, people want trucks." When I asked why they hide our Bolts in the back of the lot. It's frustrating working with short sighted, yesterday thinkers.... Tesla will always be ahead because Elon thinks in chess... The big 3... Tic, tac, toe... Plus, no matter how good your product is and how well you build it... If your frontline at your dealerships aren't supporting the direction your trying to go... You cannot win. Salesmen steer customers away from the EVs for higher commissions and spiffs on crossovers and trucks. Hell, our new 460 charging system has been sitting in a crate for 6 months... When I asked, I was told it was being installed behind the carwash, out of the way. You just cannot make people think in a forward direction. It's maddening.
@jonathanpusar5931 2 роки тому
That’s 100% true. I remember when shopping for cars and considering a Bolt or Volt. They were hidden from the dealership and the sales person didn’t know how to operate them. Though….that’s also GM’s fault. It shouldn’t have a learning curve. Teslas are pretty straightforward for the most part. There’s more advanced stuff in the settings, but starting and driving is easy. The other problem is that only recently have traditional automakers used electric car frames from the ground up. A Bolt is just a Cruise with the batteries on the floor. It’s not designed from the ground up to be electric, and there’s significant differences due to batteries and lack of mechanical components that require a totally new frame from the ground up. Car companies are only now starting to make bets on electric car platforms…but imo they’re all far too late unless they focus exclusively on the bottom end of the segment where tech is less important than value (which has been Nissan’s strategy, and the only traditional automaker successfully selling EVs).

Yeah, but Tesla probably doesn’t want people who are not trained by them to mess with their tech. Think about it this way. If someone messes with their car and let’s say made it slightly easier for someone to hack that specific Tesla, who is the one to blame if that Tesla gets hacked and crashes? The person who messed with the car, or Tesla for not putting more safeguards? What if someone misaligned a camera/sensor which causes the autopilot to not work correctly at specific situations? Since Tesla has a lot of somewhat new tech, errors are scrutinized a lot more and bad PR isn’t going to help. I think that rather than to deal with any bad PR from issues not from the company, Tesla found it easier to just not let people mess with their cars. It’s not a perfect solution, and a lot of people have messed with their cars nonetheless, but it’s the best solution at the moment.

There is another company that plans to take on Tesla. It’s called Lucid. It was founded in 2008, and Tesla’s old head engineer is the CEO of the company.
@DukeRiderPH 2 роки тому
I used to work as a software engineer at an automotive manufacturer's RnD and at that time, Tesla introduced the self-driving feature to the public. We were so dumb-founded that it was way past where we were and the gap is so far. It is true it usually takes a few years before new tech from RnD gets to actual road cars due to the business model of supply chain, parts, and manufacturing. While it was THE vision for us, Tesla already had it in their cars.

@EjTnT 3 роки тому
@donutmedia I think Nolan was on his way making an excellent point but missed a bit. It is not that big car manufacturers (such as VW and BMW) do not have the know-how and/or the people to build superior software than Tesla. They do, the problem is how they utilize their people. And here is an aspect that video did not mention unfortunately. Tesla is a technology company whereas other car brands are manufacturing companies. They use very different methodologies and approaches on their development strategies. In other words, Tesla knows how to coordinate software development and how to proceed quickly and effectively, car manufacturers are not very experienced in that endeavor and also still not very effective. Add that to the fact that most car manufacturers are big corporate structures with complicated management hierarchies suffering from bureaucratic delays and you can see how they are not very successful in developing software. That said, with big environmental pressure around the corner (there are talks of banning fossil fueled private vehicles in EU by 2025), big car companies will have to catch up and they will have to catch up quickly.
@chiluco2000 3 роки тому
Exactly, but even technology companies fail to follow through with the discipline to develop and deliver functioning product updates. At the heart of the software development process is the Agile Methodology (hbr.org/2016/05/embracing-agile ). But it takes a little getting used to. You have to cut and dice the problem to manageable size AND produce a quick prototype that works good enough to prove a solution exists. In that way you put together all your prototypes together and come up with your product's 1.0 version. And it will suck and crash. But you iterate and do it all over again. You try to be agile and not stop and delay the process. This is hard specially for those developers who are perfectionists and can't let go the prototype code, they think they can improve it a little bit more and so delay the process. So yeah, Mr. Musk has mastered this agile process not only for software but for cars and rockets! Very impressive.

and the reason they haven't turned a profit previously wasn't because they weren't making money, its because they were dumping it all into r&d. honestly, most companies shouldn't be making a significant profit. if they are, they're wasting money on obscene rainy day funds and their CEOs.
