I'm not sure I'd call Tesla "superior" to the "Big 3"

Pointing out the endless flaws in Tesla cars that have rolled off the line (joints that don't quite align, slight blemishes etc) are a running joke for many of its detractors

Not to mention the absolute clown fiesta of Elmo's "Cybertruck"

It is far superior in number of cars sold to the Big 3, which is what matters. (The Big 3 barely sell more "vehicles," but that's mostly trucks, not cars — Tesla beats them in every category in which it competes.)

Where are the new Ford, GM, and Chrysler sedans to be found anywhere? Outcompeted. What was the best selling SUV in the US? Model Y.

Or how about the obvious future of just EV's in general? Tesla at ~350k sales, Ford MachE and GM Bolt aren't even scraping 10k.

Well, regulators in many countries and states have signaled that ICE is on the way out. If you look at market share among BEVs domestically, Tesla is very dominant, over half the market.
