This is a silly take; Tesla improved EV tech in many key ways right from its beginning and it remains a highly respected carmaker with Chinese car buyers and by competing Chinese manufacturers
These Chinese manufacturers are definitely out competing and out innovating Tesla in some important ways now but that's after being a long way behind for most of Tesla's existence and by learning from Tesla's pioneering efforts
Don't get me wrong; I am enthusiastically cheering on Chinese advancement of EV tech and its broad adoption but it's silly to sneer at Tesla. Toyota and GM and the other legacy manufacturers who have obstructed EV progress are the companies deserving of derision. (And who will be crushed by the Chinese EV takeover and deservedly so.)
