> There is a herculean effort by every car manufacturer in the world to compete for Tesla's electric car market share.

Can you link to some sources, please?

The only one that actually seems like it might be going into Volume production is the VW ID.3. There are plenty of articles from 2019 talking about how they'll be building TONS in 2020... but there are no articles in 2020 talking about how many they've built.

No other auto maker has any EV on the books they plan to actually mass produce, they're all just "limited volume".

Are there really no articles, or do HN news crowd simply don't read them? Doesn't fit the "Musk is taking us to Mars" narrative present on this site these past 5 years.

That is them selling the backlog of vehicles that was left lying around after they hadn't finished the software.

How many are they now building per month? - find my an article that answers that question please.

The Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, and BMW i3 have been in heavy production for years for example. And in many countries (especially Europe) they outsold Tesla.

If these companies could make an electric car that looks remotely good looking, I'd have hope for them (only a matter of time, really).
