I'm with you on this one, Arun. Tesla has been steps ahead of
the competition (and the naysayers) for years. As long as Elon is
still in the picture, I expect more of the same. Sortof like Apple
and Steve Jobs, although Apple has continued to do well even
without Jobs.

Def agree that TSLA can't maintain the market share they have
forever... that's true with any high growth company eventually.They
are a leader in EV tech and way ahead of the "big boys" in
automotive. They are also way out in front in battery technology.
There was even a mention that they could sell their batteries to
other EV companies in the future. So the competition could become a
new revenue stream for them.
remember TSLA is held up by the TSLA fanboys, it's like a
religion. Yes will be competition over time, now obviously
where they are far ahead is in battery tech, and don't discount
their insurance remember I wrote an article about that with their
access to millions of miles of driving data they get from every
car, they have a huge advantage over any other insurance companies
to provide the best rates based on the statistics, and solar roofs
etc, people need to stop looking at TSLA as a straight automotive
stock. To me TSLA will face competition from the established
Automakers. The problem I have with Nikola, and Rivian is they
don't have any infrastructure. TSLA has 1000s and 1000s of
charging stations, that took 10 years to build out. Also a
problem TSLA still has a bit is when you need to get your car
worked on and it has a problem it's not as convenient as going to
your local dealer. However TSLA has spent the last decade
establishing places all around the county, so while it's not as
easy as going to your local dodge dealer, they still have things in
place.
So let's say you buy a Nicola or Rivian - where the hell do you
get it worked on? If you live in LA or Silicon Valley, sure
no problem, but what about for me in IL in farm country (not
Chicago), do you think they would have anything around here?
Logistics like that will take years and years to build out,
that's why to me those new ones are not any competition at this
point and wont' be for a long time. At least the established car
makers they have dealers so you can have your car worked on

Of course the stock could use a good pullback.
