They make incredible vehicles that are so far unrivaled. I'm cheering for all other automobile makers to close this gap ASAP so the bar is set higher.

I'm not cheering for or against anyone. My argument is I don't think Tesla has done anything truly revolutionary that no other automaker will be able to match, once they decide things like battery costs have come down enough to make producing them across the lineup a profitable decision.
I don't think their auto driving capabilities are as grand as they say they are. I think their centre screen with no buttons is dumb, but I like tactile buttons and knobs, so maybe that's just a 'me' issue.
I do appreciate that they have taken massive risks and have been the ones to show that electric cars can be practical, and have decent enough range for most situations. But Musk needs to stop writing checks his engineers can't cash.
