Maybe for some people, but at the same time Tesla has built pretty aspirational brand equity. And I’m telling you, the iPace isn’t even close to the current gen Teslas in terms of tech/efficiency. None of those others will be, either. The range on the Merc, in particular, sounds like it’s going to be laughably bad.
Teslas biggest challenge will be lack of sales and service locations. Thats a big deal, and it’s one that I’m not sure they can overcome.
But the cars themselves aren’t going to be obsolete in 2 years. Hell, a 2012 P85 is actually more efficient and has better specs than a brand new iPace. In 2 years, my Model 3 is still going to be capable of 0-60 faster than almost anything else on the road, and it will undoubtedly still be among the longest range EVs in the world.
