And you are not going to tell everyone at a cocktail party that your 100.000 $ car that you have been bragging about and will safe the earth by driving electric sucks and you made a bad decision.
Tesla makes a very good electric driving system. No one has better mileage and range and their auto pilot is good. Just a shame they can't build good looking reliable luxury cars. If Tesla sells the whole thing to BMW / Mercedes / VW and one of them produces a German car with Tesla electric driving technology it will be the ultimate EV.
And it was also a great idea to develop a supercharger network. Ionity in Europe is no where near to performance and coverage of Tesla superchargers.

My thoughts exactly. What Tesla should do is also become an electric drivetrain supplier, in the same way ZF supplies the world with their 8 speed gearbox. Make the Supercharger network compatible with all EV's and let the dough roll in. The charging network is not "good enough" to sway people to only purchase a Tesla EV - certainly didn't work for everyone who doesn't have one. They should be less concerned with losing sales to competitors and more focused on turning a profit, and producing cars good enough to sway the German driving people to give them a second look.
