7 Cars Hoping to Become the First True “Tesla-Killer” It's been almost a year that manufacturers or at least their fans, said "it's coming". As the months have dragged into years - at least one journalist takes a different tack; https://www.google.com/amp/s/electrek.co/2016/10/17/the-myth-of-the-tesla-killer/amp/ imo, if it weren't for 100's of 1,000's of lost "high end" sales, traditional manufacturers wouldn't give a rip about ev's & their ever increasing charge speeds & range. Only with the threat of 400K model 3 ($1,000 deposit holding) waitlist folks have traditional manufacturers felt "big numbers" heat. Those are yearly Camry #'s. Musk has already commented that ANY competition is good (& thus - his teeny spot in history is secure) and heck, if a "killer" does arrise? He'd likely be willing to meet the challenge. .
