What about other EV players like Rolls Royce, Toyota, BMW, Benz
Long term there will be alot of other players (think projections was like 35% of global fleet is expected to be evs by 2035. They won't be able to meet demand by themselves imao) . Think it's a pretty decent assumption that tesla will have a decent stake in the market just by being first players tho. And that's just one portion of their business.
You also got solar panels, battery tech (building pcg a battery factory), huge robotics fleet, AI capabilites (ai taxi network?) , huge software adv (can update cars even after they have already been produced). Oh and they also make rockets, so there's that engineering personnel advantage. The company is just innovation on all platforms
The problem is that majority of the automakers barely have a hybrid model let alone an electric car. Can't really compete when your still in R&D imao. Majority will be selling at a loss just to be able to compete (while tesla is constantly improving on manufactoring costs) or buying car shells from tesla rofl.
