      This is something to keep in mind because he has kept the same car designs for a decade. BYD has continually updated their hardware and designs. Musk isn’t leading Tesla; he’s at the helm while it coasts along, losing the momentum needed to move into the future.

        I want to see battery ranges of 400-450 miles for $25-30,000 before I’ll consider it. I have a PHEV and the range is inflated. It gets 2/3rds of what it claims. To get what it claims, I’d need to do 20 miles an hour everywhere. That’s obviously not happening. Tesla also has range issues and gets much less than claimed… to the point where they got in trouble for it.
