I simply do not see car enthusiasts “loaning” their car to strangers that may spill a drink. No one who has the money for such a car cares that little for it. Edit: you may be right about my underrating the nvidia partnership

Interesting premise, but Norway is a very unrepresentative market. But even so, 2023 will be very interesting to observe as the “old” car manufacturers have ramped up their evs now and supply shortages look to recover. My guess is that the germans will come in strong.

Thanks for this comment, i can get behind the logic. As a data guy its too intangible for me to put my money in though.

Mercedes has nothing. Nvidia partnership is overrated imo. I overlooked the self driving tech because it makes no sense to me. You have a company that makes a car for enthusiasts who develops tech so they wont get to drive their car anymore? Thats like eco mode on an amg. If tesla carves out this software department and makes it a t1 supplier i would totally invest in that company. I can see that non enthusiast cars like yaris etc. have drivers that will have a real benefit from self driving tech.

To each their own ;) i don’t swing that way.

My theory too, elon factor also the reason for the current illogical drop. The company is not significantly performing differently

What technology are you aware of that tesla is pushing? I agree that 5-10 years ago. The sheer push for ev gave them a headstart in motor tech. But it took the germans 2 years to catch up. As for handling components like shocks and stability and luxury features, tesla is still behind.
