The graveyard of would-be Tesla killers is getting more crowded. Many have thought that by putting out an Ev they would disrupt Tesla's market share. Tesla critics can't wait to tell you why the world is about to turn its back on TSLA and start buying EVs from traditional automakers.

A few things to consider:

1. Tesla wants competitors, and absolutely doesn't want to be alone in the EV market

2. Tesla doesn't see itself as a car company. It has built solutions and services spanning sectors far beyond car sales, from supercharging networks to self-driving mode to satellite-linked global communications. It could slide to a lower ranking in vehicle sales and still dominate the market in market cap because its services reach so many more people.

3. Tesla's list of patents, from those in existing vehicles to those not yet shipping, outperforms the innovation power of all other automakers combined. Sentry mode, Tesla regenerative braking, glass patents, over-the-air software updates, AI-driven FSD driver education (the car teaches the network lessons learned from its mistakes and experiences), manufacturing patents, robot patents, car summon feature, rolled steel exoskeleton, and on and on. Tell me Toyota or VW is scaring Tesla: a joke.

4. Time to market. Tesla is taking less than half the time the rest of the industry takes to get a car from concept to shipping.

5. Price. Tesla works hard to keep prices low. Right now you could buy a brand new Tesla and sell it 6 months later for more than you paid for it. Please don't try this with any other make of car.

I don't like when one company dominates a market, so I do hope a few automakers will wake up and start challenging Tesla and stealing chunks of its market share. Doesn't look likely anytime soon.
