Had the opportunity to ride in a Tesla and later that day the latest EV from Mercedes. What a tincan piece of crap the Tesla is.

It was cool when it first came out, but if I have to choose between a Silicon Valley toy and a European car made by a company that has more than a century of know-how...

I mean teslas still absolutely kill them in battery tech, efficiency, and build simplification. To the point that even Toyota is copying their strategies and building techniques.

I think the industry needed new blood to move things forward.

The industry definitely needed a push. Ford, Toyota, and the European luxury brands are absolutely going to kill Tesla though lol.

Yeah, the push was deffo needed but Tesla will for sure get slaughtered by other brands. The Mercedes EV prototype was ballin'. Still waiting for any new hydrogen tech though. Batteries will be a nonstarter if you want to electrify the worlds car fleet.
