Yes tesla had complaints on the early models of the X but I drove one early this year and it's using the same steering gear as mercedes and was a bloody nice car to drive. I wouldn't bet on the middle fleet car sales holding up against the model 3.Comment

It is for certain that if you can build a car with significantly less components then you need less engineering expertise to design and build them.
I am not questioning the Germans expertise or brilliance in this area, I would simply argue that a fully automated electric car programme will shrink the German car industry by a double digit percentage factor. As not only do you have the component and supply chain impact, you also have the impact of being able to send your car, fully automated, to family (and friends) to let them use it.
Why have 3 or more cars on the drive when we have this flexibility ?Comment
