basically exactly what happened. If it wasn't for the government subsidising he never would of gotten Tesla off the ground. Its haemorrhaging revenue anyway, He was meant to be mass producing his cheap electric car by now but production is basically at a standstill. And hes only got max 18 months before the Japanese car brands bring out their cheap electric cars to capitalise on the market. Theres no way tesla can compete with Toyota or Mazda production levels.
He brought electric cars into the mainstream but in a few years Telsa is going to be completely overtaken.

>In October, a few days before Tesla’s earnings and the announcement of the Model 3 production ramp-up delay, Taiwanese auto component maker Hota Industrial Mfg. Co announced that Tesla slashed its orders for Model 3 parts by 40% (5,000 per week to 3,000).

Their latest earnings report is due out early Feb so i guess we will know for sure then. Altho i firmly believe that this boring company flamethrower PR shit is just a smokescreen to cover up production issues with Telsa

The full scale ramp up was not meant to be reached until Q2 2018. The 20k was Elon's overly optimistic goal, which, after they entered the 'production hell', was quickly revised to 3k per week EOY. They are behind the schedule 3-6 months, with most of the bottleneck issues being solved. That's literally nothing. But of course, the media like to put out clickbait-worthy articles for brainlets to masturbate on.

That's why the Nissan leaf has flopped because it's nothing that Americans want in a car. It's slow as shit. Tesla wasn't designed in mind to be cheap or even to make money. Company exists for two reasons, to innovate electric vehicles and create vehicles that rival it's gas powered competitors.

>“That was the goal with Tesla — is to try to serve as a catalyst to accelerate the day, the day of electric vehicles.”

Probably only enjoyable to work under him if you're just as hardcore.
Though that is only sustainable in start ups and will probably change as the company matures.

1. being electric cars into the mainstream. which he has undoubtedly done im not doubting that
2. bring out a cheap mass produced electric car to contend with the cheap petrol cars coming out of Japan

They don't have the right products yet but I think you massively underestimate the resources it takes to set up high manufacturing capacities.
Tesla is completely unable to cover the demand for EVs. The big automakers will catch up sooner or later.
Besides Teslas are still lacking in several departments. For now they're still only bought by enthusiasts.

The thing is more people can afford to overspend 500$ on a phone than they can $20000 with a car. So we'll see how they can translate it in 30 years.

If they committed 100%, sure. But they didn't. So far it has been only a PR. The standard automakers are corporate morons without vision. Sure Tesla cannot cover the whole EV market in the near future. Big automakers can. But will they?

Which electric car is $20k cheaper than Tesla? Volkwswagen hopes to undercut Model 3 by $8,000 (really curious about their expected profit margin) with their gay I.D. Prototype 2019, by which a new, cheaper Tesla will likely be in the works.

That's because the technology isn't there yet.
EVs have to be on par with ICE cars not only in price, performance and range but also things like interior design and quality.
Then there's the infrastructur that still has to be built which poses massive challenges.
And last but not least the traditional auto makers will want to slow down the introduction of EVs as much as possible because they're still making a lot of money with ICE cars.
They definitely are late, though, even for their taste. They probably underestimated how well Tesla would do.
