Of course, its poor efficiency makes it just half as good as the Model X, but for some, it is good enough, so yes, it should be considered a (failed) competitor to the Tesla.José Ponteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927229481945352747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-5964221634390584212019-07-27T15:41:06.745+00:002019-07-27T15:41:06.745+00:00And I see another column, that says that both I-Pa...And I see another column, that says that both I-Pace and E-tron actually outsell MX on YTD basis. Thats pretty weird to say, that I-Pace and E-tron compete with any other Tesla models except MX. <br /><br />But the truth is that on fast growing market(BEV) competition is actually very weak. Every new model just cut a little piece of ICE market and add it to BEV space.<br /><br />I suppose that most of I-Pace and E-tron buyers would never consider buying Model X and vice versa...y.v.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09095130709099761216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-72351401791861737222019-07-24T08:05:20.654+00:002019-07-24T08:05:20.654+00:00Hard to pick just one! ;-) Googling for "I-Pa...Hard to pick just one! ;-) Googling for "I-Pace Tesla killer" yields page after page of such claims from "serious" publications. (Interspersed with many articles -- mostly from EV-centric publications -- debunking this nonsense...)<br /><br />If you want to look past the "serious" journalists making fools of themselves, and wade into the cesspool of the Tesla death cult, Mark B. Spiegel is undoubtedly the king of ridiculous predictions; perpetually talking about Tesla Killers just around the corner for some six or seven years now -- including such gems as repeatedly claiming that interest in Model 3 will evaporate once reviews of the Bolt start coming in... If you have time to kill, https://twitter.com/TeslaHistorian regularly unearths some of his (and some other $TSLAQ short earthers') most hilarious fails.<br /><br />Another endless fount of perpetually wrong claims of deadly competition being just around the corner this time really really for real, is Anton Wahlmann of Seeking Alpha "fame"... The video clip of him pretending to be thrown back by the e-tron's incredible 5.7 second 0-100 km/h acceleration is priceless :-)antriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-61713908857094470072019-07-23T23:33:35.500+00:002019-07-23T23:33:35.500+00:00haha, you should!

And I can confirm from from my own experience that the number of Tesla vehicles is going up quickly on the roads.<br /><br />I remember the days when I was barely able to spot 1 Tesla a day. Now seeing up to 5 per day is no exception. The transition happened within the past 1-2 years. Coupled with the high amount of electric scooters, it gives me a glimpse of the future :)Flowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974126544229945367noreply@blogger.com
