Journalists need to stop
Journalists need to stop talking about "Tesla killer". Tesla will never be taken down from their throne because they were the first and they created a trend and set up a standard with their own network of chargers and their own charge port.
Tesla is the Apple of carmakers. Even though Samsung, LG, and Motorola caught up and built cheaper phones with better performance and design than iPhones, they stay the ones that people look up to. Even though Android phones are selling twice as much as iPhones, the Apple keynotes are events because they created a hype followed by a group of believers. Tesla is the new Apple. Not because they build better cars (Model 3 is garbage), but because it's almost a cult. Yet, it shouldn't be a cult. And we should not make idols.
