[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7742114, member: 718"] Ford are in deeper poo than most people imagine. They are pulling out or shutting factories all over the globe and are deeply in debt, yet they need massive investment in alternative fuel vehicles. Tesla is eating them for breakfast in the EV market and their main income stream continues to be the large pickup truck market in the USA. They are increasingly being challenged in that segment though, so they better pull their finger out quick. In the car market, yes Tesla is making mince of all the competition currently and is geared up to continue to pull away into a higher league. Tesla's biggest competition is likely to come from Korea, in the form of Hyundai/Kia Group and from China where the BYD company is also vertically integrated, making a wide range of EV vehicles, their own made batteries and even their own semiconductor production. They are in fact one of the fourth largest Li-ion battery manufacturers in the world. However, Tesla is ramping up far faster and accelerating away from all others, with their Chinese Gigafactory already running and exporting the modelY to Europe, in advance of the Berlin Gigafactory that will come on-line in the next three months. When the Tesla 4680 battery production begins in Berlin it will be yet another game changer and will dwarf all other car producers due to the efficiency of production. Where are Ford, General Motors, Stelantis and Toyota? Falling further behind every day. [/QUOTE]
