European brands(mostly German) are going to gradually replacing much of Tesla's market share. Brands like Fiat may provide some compact cheap EV's, but they will mostly be the domain of Europe. American and Japanese brands will occupy the middle ground. Most of these EV startups like Rivian aren't going to stay around. They'll either go bankrupt, or get bought by Ford and GM and get value engineered into boring-mobiles.


That's the Fuzz 15 year EV outlook.
I really disagree.

Tesla and VW will be and already are manufacturing tons of cars in China for distribution worldwide. The trope of cheap and substandard manufacturing falls apart with EVs. Volvo's EVs are already produced in China and BYD and Geely are debuting soon in Europe. Some of the current Chinese EV offerings are quite advanced and well built. We're ignoring Chinese EV domination to our peril.
