The most interesting bit imo is

Meanwhile, VW sold the most electric vehicles in Europe in 2021 and has already sold out of electric cars in Europe and the US for 2022.

Last week the company said that it had a backlog of 300,000 orders in Western Europe alone.

Which was the point I remember arguing with some Elon fanboi on reddit years ago.

I'm pretty sure I've also heard a commentator saying something similar about this being the reason for Tesla being revalued. Previously it was assumed that Tesla would have a 3yr advantage (iirc) over any established manufacturer. While I'm not going to pretend that anyone else has the distance and infrastructure offering Tesla have, I don't think they have a 3yr advantage anymore.

Right - I've thought that for years; the minute you can buy an electric Mercedes / BMW / VW / Honda / almost any car manufacturer, you'd likely never buy a Tesla instead. And that seems to be happening now (or possibly next year once they make enough to meet the demand - like you say, everyone seems sold out now).
