I want you to be right Dean.
I want you to be right Dean. I am not rooting for Tesla to fail, just laying out the story as I see it unfolding (and using so many green links to other sources the page looks like a Christmas theme). One thing is for sure, many luxury brands are trying to catch Tesla's luxury EV offerings. However, in fairness, this story is about the Model 3's first year. We were promised an "affordable" BEV starting at $35K and we didn't get it. GM and Nissan have had affordable EREVs and BEVs on sale in the US since 2010. Toyota has had affordable PHEVs on sale since 2012. It's Tesla who is behind with regard to EVs that most Americans can afford. That didn't change this year.
