It may not be that Tesla is extremely good, but that the others are inconceivably fumbling in creating decent premium electric cars. And may do that for many years to come.
You may look at the competition as completely incompetent, or you can look at the winning team as having a great defensive play.
You would think by now that Tesla would have been body-slammed by some regulatory agency or paid media shill (though that John Broder hit piece came pretty close)… maybe Tesla just has good defense in that space.
Just look at non-apple laptops' trackpads...
