Who’s going to mass produce the batteries to sell enough for it be good competition?

Right, they should be scared of some pie-in-the-sky concept car. Just like they should be scared of all of VWs BEVs that are continuously coming in “a few years..”

OHHH, SHIT.

That image looks like a literal rendering of a polished turd.

bwahahaha....Zing!

The company that can’t even wire a working turn signal expects to pump out an entire electric car?

What, was she a Trekkie or something?

Except isnt production capacity Tesla’s main barrier to profitability? If this increases capacity, it is likely more valuable than future cash from from contracts. Also, they will have to honor the current contracts because they are contracts. It’s an issue of future contracts.
