Why Can’t Anyone Take Down Tesla?

If I asked you to close your eyes and imagine an electric car, I'd be willing to bet you're imagining a Tesla, of course you are. Tesla Motors is by far the largest seller of electric vehicles globally and has been for years. When it comes to mass-produced electric vehicles, Tesla faces no real competition, so why are all the other car companies failing? I'm a damn collectible, check it out, these are the first official donut figures, we have James Kentucky, Cobra Pumphrey here and me. nolan be kind sykes these limited edition figures will be available on september 25th starting at 9am. and once again they're limited so once they're sold out there won't be any more, but for three of you lucky ones we'll be giving away three signed figures, that's signed by James and I, so to enter go to donutmedia. utus.com.

The steps, like visiting the YouTube reddit or YouTube, the more steps you do, the more likely you are to win, so do it. The sleeve's out, look I love you and there's James, and even on the shirt you can see it's got the donut logo, oh, on the front and the back, so there's nice little details here, I like that one, James. James looks so happy let's open mine be nice perfect okay I have glasses and that looks like I might even have my mole how do I get to my appointment before there's a collectible of mine in my car , no less guys?

I'm so excited about this, when you get yours post some pictures of them and tag me because it's surreal that I have my own collectible figure so see you on September 25th and good luck to

anyone

who enters, you know me. I am red. gas guy through and through, but even I have to admit that the future is electric. We even made a video about whether electric cars are better for the environment than gasoline cars. The answer may surprise you. It's actually one of my favorite videos. What I have ever done and if there is anything I have learned from the entire history of the automobile is that competition creates the best cars for consumers, which brings me to electric vehicles of the approximately 65 and a half million cars sold in everyone last year. only 2.5 of the global market and only one percent in the US, but within the market, Tesla specifically the model three completely dominated in the United States last year, Tesla has accounted for 78 of all sales of electric vehicles so far in 2020, they are selling more than the next. three major electric vehicle manufacturers combined, the model 3 is the best-selling plug-in electric vehicle in the world and it's not even close, it leaves other companies in the dust, it has surpassed them about 10 times and is taking off like a rocket towards the elon musk condo on mars the lack of competition is downright frustrating there must be many companies that have the resources to provide an electric vehicle to the masses there should already be a popular electric car comparable to a

on the market but no there just isn't It is and it's not for lack of trying, there have been several changes and mis

take

s made by would-be Tesla killers in the last decade, for example despite Audi's popularity their e-tron never took off.

Faraday's futures CEO went bankrupt. and literally ran away from his debtors after the ff91 flop, even Dyson tried his hand at making electric vehicles before canceling a project because he sucked. We talked about the Dyson car in more depth a few weeks ago. Go watch that episode if you have. I haven't seen it yet, the car doesn't really suck, it was just too expensive, so what is everyone doing so wrong that Tesla is doing so well? I did a little research and came up with three main areas where Tesla is kicking everyone else's butt, but the third one has the most push, it's definitely the nail in their collective coffin that leads directly to the answer as to why they have Maintained miles ahead of everyone else in the race, how can they consistently beat their competition first?

Simply put, Tesla EVs are simply better to drive than anything else on the EV market, Tesla trumps it when it comes to overall consumer experience. I'm talking about how great it feels to drive a Tesla. model 3. Tesla's more affordably priced family car and its attempt to create a mass-market electric vehicle. This car is a dream to drive. It handles well, rides smoothly and is incredibly safe along with all the standard EV perks like quietness and instant torque. The interior design is a minimalist dream the aesthetic is sleek and modern the user interface is sophisticated but a little simple it's a little more sophisticated i didn't understand the

tesla

hype until i drove one say what you want about the build quality and the gimmicky features like having to use a touch screen to open the glove box, but after driving it I don't really care, another important factor is the batteries, as Tesla's batteries have a longer range than all its competitors, in fact, cars of Tesla occupy the first four positions on the list.

Of the longest range electric vehicles, not only are their batteries the best, they are the only company to offer different battery packs at different prices, so although the base model of the best-selling Chevy Bolt has a range comparable to the base model 3 Tesla, higher. The specs smoke, plus it's faster and more fun to drive, it's that variety that sets the Tesla apart from other EVs, how the driver experiences the capability and automated features, but I'll get to the tech section of my letter a bit. love tesla. Later, I want to

take

a moment to remind you that Tesla is not perfect.

They have seriously struggled with poor build quality and paint quality many times. Remember back in 2018, when they were building cars in a literal tent to meet their quarterly production. goal which resulted in a harsh lack of quality control and a large number of defects in their cars as a company, they have faced harsh criticism for the quality of their work over time, although they have been addressing these concerns by constantly resolving issues. introducing new and better models something BMW hasn't been doing with the i3, which is arguably Tesla's most recognizable rival. This rivalry dates back to 2013.

BMW began developing the i3 while Tesla produced its flagship models, but the truth is that these two. The vehicles are nothing alike. The S model is a luxury sedan that is reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class in terms of aesthetics and performance, but the i3 almost looks like a toy version of a futuristic car. Its design makes it read more as a novelty rather than a daily driver and, although its years on the market have given it some reputation, it remains BMW's only all-electric model since the i3 was launched. Tesla has worked hard with that signature innovation and relentless development to create new and better models like the model y. model an undeniable factor of genius.

They have that janissa quoi, an undeniable sense of joy and when you see one, the last one means taking your breath away. I had to do it like five times. I am very bad at French if you want to know more about me. pronunciations of slaughter watch our podcast passes gas many names that I don't understand well and people send me useful mail what I want to say here is that Tesla has top-notch branding and marketing and they have a zero dollar advertising budget. They literally don't make ads, they don't have to, they are in the zeitgeist and even though they are a young company, Tesla is a household name, not to mention the name itself is catchy and refers to something other companies have tried to copy.

I'm looking at you Nicola, you can't just take Tesla and use the same guy's name. Look, I don't want to disparage your cars or anything, but that's weird, of course, a big part of their marketing success is due to the eccentric personality and celebrity of their CEO, Elon Musk, Elon basically functions as the company-wide marketing department, everything he does is some kind of commercial for Tesla, whether it's sending a roadster to Mars smoking a joint with Joe Rogan or tweeting to his 38 million Twitter followers, Elon remains in the headlines and therefore Tesla too and look, he is definitely not a billionaire to everyone's liking.

I have my problems with him but the fact is whether you're a musk or not I'm willing to bet most of the people in your life know who he is can you say the same about mark duceman or jim hackett? No, you know Elon Musk's name, you may not know his son's name, but honestly, I don't think he knows it either, I'm sorry, oh oh, you mean me, but. With this help, Tesla has a fervent and loyal fan base unlike that of any other automaker, plus due to its success, all other electric vehicles and their commercials serve as free advertising for Tesla when new electric vehicles appear.

Some companies like Volvo openly challenge Tesla when they launch a new electric vehicle who spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising each year and base the entire marketing campaign for the maki, an electric vehicle on the mustang, arguably one of the most iconic gas-powered off-road cars of all time, why are they lumping these together? two ideas? This upsets some mustang fans and is a completely missed opportunity to focus Ford as a force in creating fresh new alternatives. energy vehicles is not that innovative although tesla sells innovation they sell progress they sell a vision of the future where technology is used to improve our lives and the planet is baby marketing talking about technology is the third component of my analysis of tesla's superiority over others electric vehicles and it is the biggest teslas are software defined vehicles what that means is that all the functions and features of a tesla are enabled and operated primarily by software rather than hardware this is what people talk about When you say that a Tesla is basically a computer on wheels, you are right, software defined vehicles are different from analog vehicles because they offer a constantly changing and evolving platform to meet customer needs.

Tesla owners can reap the benefits of software updates, bug fixes and feature updates without a single trip to the dealership, I'm not talking about a new navigation system or stereo setup, these updates are like getting a tune completely new to your car, the latest update, for example, includes lower charging times, higher cruising speeds, updated driving display, which moves more inches. They bring them closer to full drivability, it even tunes the suspension to support aerodynamics and ride comfort, it's amazing and while I love it, an analogue dash with a loud internal combustion engine, I can't deny that the cars are heading for a digital future, Tesla is leading that advance.

And boy do they have a big advantage, their technology is what makes them untouchable even by attractive competitors. Take Volkswagen for example, when they announced their id3, they called it their electric offensive and it would dictate tens of billions of euros over the next eight years. to launch up to 70 new electric vehicles, the ID3 was intended to compete with the fierce Model 3. It looked at first like it might give Tesla a run for its money. It's an everyday EV with great maneuverability and pretty good range. The problem was, as expected, the technology after the impact. It soon became clear to the market that the id3 software was developed too hastily;

In fact, the company's first mass-market EV launch was delayed due to software issues and early versions of the car will be equipped with an incomplete VW software architecture. It simply didn't have the people or experience to compete with Tesla's computers. Tesla has those things in abundance besides being software defined. Tesla is the unrivaled leader in autonomous driving technology. They've been working on it longer and harder than

anyone

else. There is no fully autonomous vehicle yet, but Tesla is getting close. It has a sentry mode that continuously monitors the vehicle's surroundings, adding protection and laying the foundation for an autonomous future.

Tesla's integrated central control unit, tooknown as fully autonomous driving. computer, also known as hardware, three quotes claim that computer performance is 144 trillion operations per second, do you know how much a trillion is? It's a million million. Now imagine 144 of those. I can't wait to see the animation of this. Now I don't know either. There's a lot about computers, but that seems very clever to me. This FSD computer has capabilities that competitors can only dream of. It is Tesla's ace in the hole and its biggest advantage over its competition in Japan. Nikai's trade posts took down a Tesla model. 3 to try to figure it out, what they discovered when inspecting the fsd is that tesla's technology is about half a decade ahead of the competition, so even for competing electric vehicles like the beautiful jaguar i-pace, whose Infotainment might have a slight advantage over its Tesla counterpart, the Model X, the self-driving technology is unrivaled.

Tesla technology is king. consumer experience marketing technology and brand Tesla wins everywhere, but now that we've looked at the details, let's step back and think about the big picture, the big question we have. I'm trying to answer with this video, why does everyone else keep failing? This is not a simple answer, but as far as I can tell, based on my research, legacy automakers can't compete with Tesla for a couple of reasons, first of all, many of them simply. They underestimated Tesla when they wereIn the beginning, Tesla's aspirations were lofty and car companies like BMW and Mercedes-Benz did not believe that Tesla could execute its vision, this was especially true in the case of the Model 3.

Tesla had a plan to deliver a affordable option to reach a wider market and they had problems and setbacks in the early stages of creation and manufacturing, but they eventually worked it out and this year so far they have shipped around 400,000 model threes, no one thought they could do it. You know, what an egg it's unpleasant, but hindsight is 20 20, which is also this year, did you know that the bigwigs at our beloved big car companies can't erase their past mistakes, but what's so frustrating about the situation is which is also still reluctant to change each of the large automakers depends on the automotive industry's spare parts supply chain its business model depends on it the spare parts supply chain is a layered system that includes dealerships manufacturers and three tiers of parts suppliers car buyers go to dealers who place orders with manufacturers who then use dealer data to design new models and collect components from the first tier of suppliers who source parts from tier 2 suppliers tier 3 sells raw materials Bonuses for everyone is complicated.

This system has been ingrained in companies for decades. Of course, it facilitates growth, but it also effectively prevented the large automotive companies from continuing with the technological blows. Tesla, on the other hand, does not rely on a parts supply chain and instead manufactures almost one hundred percent of its vehicles in-house. There are no dealerships or parts orders. some other factory and therefore no intermediary like the one we mentioned above. Tesla is software defined. Tesla has never made an ICE vehicle that would benefit from a parts supply chain and the fact that the fsd computer replaces so many hardware components of an ICE vehicle is what makes in-house manufacturing possible.

The AI ​​chips that are the heart of every Tesla machine are manufactured, inserted and sold by Tesla. It is a consumer's dream. A hassle-free, one-stop shop for all your carpet purchasing needs if other car companies want to compete. tesla have to compete with their business model tesla is essentially making supply chains obsolete, forcing auto companies to follow suit and completely uproot all of their manufacturing and business models. I would be reluctant too, especially since Tesla only occupies one percent of the market in the US and they haven't turned a profit yet. I know I've been saying the highest praise so far, but Tesla is not a perfect company.

Its problems are too good for one Since its founding in 2003, Tesla Motors has never reported an annual profit and, for all its innovation, uncharted technological territory is a breeding ground for risk, so there is an opportunity for the automakers we know and love stand up. Against the autotech giant, it will only take some risky moves and a couple of profound changes that are difficult to imagine, but automotive companies have to adopt an internal manufacturing model for their EBs, it is the key to Tesla's success and, although it may seem impossible , is the only clear way out of inevitable obsolescence;

Secondly, Tesla is not the only company in the world making AI chips. Legacy auto companies need to partner with A.I. platforms. If they want to have a chance against Tesla. Mercedes is already on this train and recently announced a partnership with Nvidia to build their own software defined vehicles in what could be the first real competition that Tesla has ever faced and you know what I'm here for, I'm always rooting for the underdogs like mercedes-benz and nvidia, you know, those little upstarts taking it to the man friend and as much as I appreciate what Tesla makes, I also know that it's inherently different from what we know a car to be, it's complicated and the future is uncertain, what is certain is that the presence of electric vehicles will only increase from now on and let's hope there are many to choose from if you want to see more videos our subscribe to donut media we publish a video almost every day follow us on social media at donut media we publish behind the scenes photos and talk to you follow me on nolanjsykes I consider myself an amateur photographer be kind until next time
