  • How deep is Tesla going to dig their own grave? Imaging creating this mess just because you don’t want to provide a good work environment for 130 workers in a market where you sell over 10000 cars a year.
    It’s even worse, this thing get picked up by press and unions in all over the EU and literally puts Tesla on target for these groups. Tesla has been under the radar for years with their none unionized workforce in the EU, now these stuff gets brought up just because of 130 Tesla workers in sweden.


  • 10 year advantage Tesla has almost kept intact to date.

    Could you name so domains were Tesla is 10 years ahead?

    the problems to convert existing, outdated and often unusable factories to EV production

    That’s what manufacturers do with all new cars or major refreshes. Basically everything inside gets sold and retooled. Look at european manufacturers, all their factories are retooled ICE ones and quality wise these doesn’t seem to be worse.

    nor have the burden of dealerships

    What burden exactly?

    Tesla doesn’t outsource almost anything

    Just battery cells, suspension parts, radar chips, cameras, tires, wheels, plastic parts, fasteners etc.

    When Ford has an outsourced piece of hardware coming from China being replaced with a different one, the time they need to adapt their car software can be much much longer than the time Tesla need to do the same with an in-house item

    Hm, Tesla was using Bosch radar and switched to cameras and their autopilot software with vision only is still lagging behind the Mobileye+Bosch Radar one.
