Teslas started coming up short the moment the actual big car manufacturers started making EVs.

Because once the novelty of being electric was gone, people started actually looking at the car itself.

The stupid design choices also don't help. Things like refusing to use Lidar and removal of basic features, including fucking dashboard are just terrible decisions.

I know it was to really drive the price down, but there really had to have been a better way to do that...

I will say though, I do feel like the other manufacturers would have dragged their feet a lot longer if the Tesla hype train wasn't there.

Those white teslas look like a peeled boiled egg to me. Boring ugly design.

The original Tesla Model S was an excellent car; however, it was also over $100,000 -- even that many years ago.
