• VW's electric platform has been ready for a few years, with first models coming out next year I think.

    Ford have just announced their first car based on their platform, coming out next year. All using same powertrain tech as Tesla I think. Same suppliers even. It is not an accident that VW and Ford have waited to next year to do this. They've just been waiting for Tesla to mire themselves.

  • Interesting, thanks - and for the previous post also - I didn't realise it was quite so imminent.

    They're about to be competing against companies that are richer, more experienced and have the same tech as them and are in the red in terms of operating income

    I guess the barriers to entry are about to be raised.
