Why Can’t Anyone Take Down Tesla?

- Tesla is the undisputed king of electric vehicles. The Model S, Model 3, and Model X were groundbreaking cars in their own right, and there seems to be no end in sight for the California automaker. But one question remains: Why are established brands having such a hard time keeping up? Mercedes, Chevy, and others have all released their own EVs - but none of them have touched Tesla. What’s up?

When you realize that this video is also a free advertisement for Tesla
You don't get to 80 billion dollars by paying for things such as "worker accident compensation" and "advertisements" I guess.
Aren't most of Donuts' videos free advertising for [insert manufacturer here]?
Tangent I guess the bit on Nissan wasn’t
"free"
In fact me commenting about this and replying to it are also even more *FREE* advertising for Tesla

You’re missing Tesla’s charging network, trust me when looking at buying an EV charging points matter.
Oh good point
@Mobile Games I'm pretty sure it was the same with petrol.If I'm not mistaken you used to buy petrol at pharmacies
Yep, Tesla's the only company that's actually building infrastructure for electric cars. That's why I want one; they are literally the only option for an electric car you can easily take on roadtrips.
I'm assuming the other carmakers haven't just hooked onto the Supercharger network because it's owned and run entirely by Tesla, which isn't favorable for them. But then in that case it's frustrating that none of them are even trying to compete...
No one in this world has electricity. You have to invent it, before selling electic cars.
💯 I have driven Bolt long term and Tesla’s long term. I would never hesitate to drive a Tesla on a road trip. The Supercharging network is a game changer for quickly recharging. 50kw chargers leave you charging for hours on end. I have heard rumours of why other manufacturers cannot use Tesla’s Supercharging network. The actual fact that owning a non Tesla and not able to use a the s/c is a game changer. Tesla will continue to detroy and own the entire ev market.

"$0 in advertising" well I mean launching a tesla into space wasnt exactly FREE, but we get it.
Thats space X money, not tesla
It was a joke. Relax goblins.
Actually it pretty much was. That was a test launch in which they wouldn't want to carry any real high-value cargo - normally payloads for such test launches are concrete blocks. They offered for research institutions (universities?) to put payloads or other cargo in it, but none took them up on this. Thus the only cost was the car itself - Musk's personal car - and I suppose the fabrication of the mounting.
Tesla fan boys do a lot of free advertising like Nike airheads do
They needed a mass for the rocket to work properly, it wasn't a move initiated by tesla it was a space x project

@@ifyourmarriedyourasimpanda7440 pretty much all gas powered cars can be hacked too. Cars electric or not are run by computers now. Also where i live 80% of power comes from hydro. Where you live its probably different, my point is electric cars are not as bad as you make them out to be.

It also helps that Tesla had the foresight to build the infrastructure for cross country trips to build consumer confidence. Planning a trip in a Tesla is far easier than planning one that uses the J-1772 charging port.

Tesla is against right to repair .
I kinda dont like them for that .
under rated comment
The thing is that if someone messes with their Tesla and crashes it, the media is more likely to blame Tesla, and bad publicity is really bad when bringing new technology to the market.
@@jakinchan3432 U know Tesla are made by people right ?
So they can be repair by people .
Yeah, but Tesla probably doesn’t want people who are not trained by them to mess with their tech.
Think about it this way. If someone messes with their car and let’s say made it slightly easier for someone to hack that specific Tesla, who is the one to blame if that Tesla gets hacked and crashes? The person who messed with the car, or Tesla for not putting more safeguards? What if someone misaligned a camera/sensor which causes the autopilot to not work correctly at specific situations?
Since Tesla has a lot of somewhat new tech, errors are scrutinized a lot more and bad PR isn’t going to help. I think that rather than to deal with any bad PR from issues not from the company, Tesla found it easier to just not let people mess with their cars. It’s not a perfect solution, and a lot of people have messed with their cars nonetheless, but it’s the best solution at the moment.
@@jakinchan3432 Other manufacturers have that exact same risk, yet most of them don't do that. But it's rather hilarious to see what your comment implies. What you're saying is that Tesla is all PR and blowing smoke up people's ass, unlike other companies that sell a proper product?
Also if you buy the autopilot and sell the car they deactivate it. They clearly don't care about you, they know they can get away with it because their market will gobble it up anyway. Stop pulling at strings and the mental gymnastics to defend Tesla, they aren't your friends and Elon doesn't give a shit about you either.
Big fan of all your shows. Keep up the good work. I am an old fart by your standards, but I love your knowledge of cars. Gives me hope for the future of hot rodding and tuning.
Tesla came into existence because GM shat itself when it concluded that EVs are not worth it and crushed 99% of EV1s with protest of the EV owners.
Top Takeaway: GM has been going on a downward spiral since the early 2000s that got worse with the Recession.

I just realized, I’ve never seen an old dirty Tesla. I wonder if I will in the future.
As a tech for a GM dealer... I worked to earn my certs for these vehicles because it's exciting to me and cutting edge tech. But, I can tell you that in some areas, EVs are being hurt at the dealership level.
Salesmen don't know how to sell them and don't care to learn anything about them. I personally drive a Volt, in a town full of all kinds of hybrid/ev owners... Yet I was told by a sales manager "There's no market here, people want trucks."
When I asked why they hide our Bolts in the back of the lot.
It's frustrating working with short sighted, yesterday thinkers....
Tesla will always be ahead because Elon thinks in chess...
The big 3... Tic, tac, toe...
Plus, no matter how good your product is and how well you build it...
If your frontline at your dealerships aren't supporting the direction your trying to go... You cannot win.
Salesmen steer customers away from the EVs for higher commissions and spiffs on crossovers and trucks.
Hell, our new 460 charging system has been sitting in a crate for 6 months... When I asked, I was told it was being installed behind the carwash, out of the way.
You just cannot make people think in a forward direction. It's maddening.
That’s 100% true. I remember when shopping for cars and considering a Bolt or Volt. They were hidden from the dealership and the sales person didn’t know how to operate them.
Though….that’s also GM’s fault. It shouldn’t have a learning curve. Teslas are pretty straightforward for the most part. There’s more advanced stuff in the settings, but starting and driving is easy.
The other problem is that only recently have traditional automakers used electric car frames from the ground up. A Bolt is just a Cruise with the batteries on the floor. It’s not designed from the ground up to be electric, and there’s significant differences due to batteries and lack of mechanical components that require a totally new frame from the ground up.
Car companies are only now starting to make bets on electric car platforms…but imo they’re all far too late unless they focus exclusively on the bottom end of the segment where tech is less important than value (which has been Nissan’s strategy, and the only traditional automaker successfully selling EVs).
5:53 that’s not how you use callipers to measure a gap, that’s what the other side is for...

VROOOOOM
why have I just discovered this channel? it's amazing
Imagine an „Up to speed“ on NIKOLA being only five seconds long with Nolan telling you „its a scam“
It was a Pie in the sky Joke that snow balled too far.
Imagine in the future
“Oh yeah I just updated my car from 150 hp to 970 last night, just left it on the charger in my garage”
I know that its a bit of a joke for that much increase in power, but Tesla actually added 50 more horsepower to model S via software back in 2019, electrek.co/2019/10/31/tesla-model-s-peak-power-increase-50hp-software-musk-beat-porsche-taycan/#:~:text=Tesla's%20upcoming%20power%20increase%20through,S%20on%20the%20quarter%2Dmile.
That would be pretty sick
The power is actually determined by the voltage the battery has and the current it puts out. The voltage decreases while discharging. So basically it’s already the case. So when you charge an EV the battery voltage increases again and you therefore have more power
Yea we can do that already
Andre Barreto it’s an ECU tune really. Most cars performance based vehicles can squeeze 40-90 hp off an ECU tune. The b8.5 s4 for example goes from around 330 to 380/400

I used to work as a software engineer at an automotive manufacturer's RnD and at that time, Tesla introduced the self-driving feature to the public. We were so dumb-founded that it was way past where we were and the gap is so far. It is true it usually takes a few years before new tech from RnD gets to actual road cars due to the business model of supply chain, parts, and manufacturing. While it was THE vision for us, Tesla already had it in their cars.

Not even a good one. The brain has a crap flash memory. It can only be overwritten so many times and than fails. MUSK has pushed thru so many software patchs that the memory is failing and its turning cars into paperweight.
What's with the engine sounds on those evs? LMAO
Ikr! They dubbed a gas-supercar over the Tesla.
I would want one haha just like that BMW i8
So people hear them coming and don’t die
9:31 its says "ford motor company" in the top left, shows a Polestar 2

@donutmedia I think Nolan was on his way making an excellent point but missed a bit. It is not that big car manufacturers (such as VW and BMW) do not have the know-how and/or the people to build superior software than Tesla. They do, the problem is how they utilize their people. And here is an aspect that video did not mention unfortunately.
Tesla is a technology company whereas other car brands are manufacturing companies. They use very different methodologies and approaches on their development strategies. In other words, Tesla knows how to coordinate software development and how to proceed quickly and effectively, car manufacturers are not very experienced in that endeavor and also still not very effective. Add that to the fact that most car manufacturers are big corporate structures with complicated management hierarchies suffering from bureaucratic delays and you can see how they are not very successful in developing software. That said, with big environmental pressure around the corner (there are talks of banning fossil fueled private vehicles in EU by 2025), big car companies will have to catch up and they will have to catch up quickly.
Exactly, but even technology companies fail to follow through with the discipline to develop and deliver functioning product updates. At the heart of the software development process is the Agile Methodology (hbr.org/2016/05/embracing-agile ). But it takes a little getting used to. You have to cut and dice the problem to manageable size AND produce a quick prototype that works good enough to prove a solution exists. In that way you put together all your prototypes together and come up with your product's 1.0 version. And it will suck and crash. But you iterate and do it all over again. You try to be agile and not stop and delay the process. This is hard specially for those developers who are perfectionists and can't let go the prototype code, they think they can improve it a little bit more and so delay the process.
So yeah, Mr. Musk has mastered this agile process not only for software but for cars and rockets! Very impressive.

My brain: "Nissan, innovation that excites."
Also me: lol wth
