#2Feels like anyone going head to head with Tesla is in for a hard time. It must be very hard to compete with the cachet of Tesla and the speed with which they improve their vehicles.

#3Longer term, expect Tesla's stronger EV competition in global markets from another EV-native. One based in China.

And compete with the vast network of superchargers Tesla's already established for themselves...

seems like they're aiming for Model S level pticing, too.

#6According to the article, they have less range than a Tesla Model 3 and cost substantially more. That seems like a hard thing to sell.

#7Terrible article:
1) It's only about the US.
2) Tesla's big seller is the Model 3 which isn't a competitor for the Audi e-tron and I-Pace. And given the size difference probably isn't a competitor for the Model X either.
3) No one is claiming to be a Tesla killer since no one really has direct 3, X, S, Y competitors. The existing car companies are all off doing their own thing e.g. VW ID.3 (hatchback), Hyundai Kona (mini-SUV), Renault Zoe / Chevy Bolt / Nissan Leaf / BMW i3 (small-car) etc.

Maybe. Compare the Mercedes EQC to the Tesla Model X. The EQC is quieter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13mNkRtdK84
The EQC has more sophisticated headlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZMNkMadYTQ
And the EQC has voice control (although they really need a better triggering phrase than "Mercedes"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JTew1D5Tk8
I think Tesla's main problem now is that the major car companies will be releasing multiple EVs across multiple brands year after year. It's going to be difficult for Tesla to keep up.

They are aimed at the same crowd who buy models X&S, and they didn't have much a dent yet here in Norway as well.

They aren't competitors for the Model 3 but rather a Model Y.
And not sure why people are so obsessed with range. It's the megapixels/megahertz spec nonsense again. People don't buy ICE cars based purely on MPG but also for exterior/interior design, quality, comfort, brand, support, seating capacity etc and most importantly what the car says about you as a person.
