Wouldn't it be great if Tesla kicks these cheaters in the bin and wins the car race (like the iPhone did vs. the other phones)? Pity producing cars isn't as fast as manufacturing an iPhone. Germany's industry is in real trouble, looks like they were cheating.

What would be really great if we could get rid of cars all together, spend all that money on an awesome PT system, and convert 80% of roads into parks and other uses. Make suburbs actually nice places to live.

iPhones are produced by contract manufacturers. That's not how the car business is organized: there's no existing contract manufacturer that can produce the Model 3 in high volume. They only exist for low-volume, high-end cars.
