Established automakers vs new entrants captures the idea better, IMO.
I suppose you could argue Tesla is now pretty established as an automaker. You are totally correct when you say they are transitioning but a lot of folks are guilty of thinking they are in trouble and on their way out. I'm guilty of using legacy only because I don't use OEM and I don't know how better to separate the longtime ICE automakers to the upstart EV automakers.
