Tesla hikes solar roof price on contracts signed over a year ago
Tesla is increasingly losing their headstart in terms of EV innovations and technology. It&#x27;s time for this stupid Elon Musk personality cult to wind down with it.<p>Big players in the car industry will slowly push Tesla out of the market in the next 10 years, as Tesla cannot compete with the logistics, expertise and reach of Toyota, Volkswagen or Fiat-Chrysler to name a few.<p>Volkswagen is churning out very decent full class EV cars across all sectors at a much faster rate than Tesla, thanks to the MEB [1]. Do they still lack range compared to a Model whatever? Yes. Has Tesla built amazing cars for starting off from almost scratch? Yes.<p>But an Audi e-Tron SUV feels 10x as awesome as a Model X, sorry. Hype or not it&#x27;s not even close. I wouldn&#x27;t even hesitate between a Model S and a Porsche Taycan either, even if things like charging infrastructure and range are considered.<p>Going from 0 to 60 in 2.7s is what Tesla claims on the Model S P1000D. You can do that <i>maybe</i> one time and then the time starts stretching. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S consistently delivers this performance 10x in a row without going weak. [2, German]<p>Right now Teslas have some edge here, others some edge there but Tesla won&#x27;t survive the next 5 years of EV evolution with respect to the car industry heavy weights.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Volkswagen_Group_MEB_platform" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Volkswagen_Group_MEB_platform</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.auto-motor-und-sport.de&#x2F;test&#x2F;porsche-taycan-turbo-s-tesla-model-s&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.auto-motor-und-sport.de&#x2F;test&#x2F;porsche-taycan-turb...</a>
