Despite being massively impressed by those EVs I can’t help but wonder what the end games will be for all these EV makers that are ALL losing money. Worldwide only BYD and TESLA are actually making a profit. And leaders of the market seem to have little enduring advantage. Who remembers HTC smartphones that were all the rage? If someone comes up with actual autonomous driving, it’s gonna sweep all the net profits away just like Apple did with smartphones. And it probably will matter little if the autonomous software is run on ICE or BEV platforms.

The end game is:
sell cheap cars to the rest of Asia, Africa, South America, the Middle East.
Own the future of transportation.
Profit.
Transport is going to electrify FAST in the coming years.
Autonomous is a red herring.
