Wow, what a click-baity misleading headline. Key point is that this number is going down:

"The big news is that more and more people are opting to trade their Teslas for an EV from a legacy automaker"

This might be me in a few years. Tesla stopped being innovative years ago. No surprise, its CEO is high on drugs most of the time and spends his days (and nights) posting childish memes.

I sort of wish car makers would stop being innovative. I do like the reliability and safety that modern cars provide but would like fewer bells and whistles. Affordability in both purchasing and maintaining is important to me. Just watching car commercial makes me think the industry is not prioritizing these things.

FSD is revolutionary. There isn’t anything as good on the market yet. Other than that I agree, their competitors have caught up.

isn't that the one that kills people?

Your post is just as misleading. The ceo is irrelevant and his outward appearance speaks nothing to performance.

The more realistic assessment is that the path of innovation approaches a limit. Tesla was first to market, after that there’s not much left to innovate other than fusion powered cars.

Tesla created the market and they are losing first mover advantage as competitors move in and set up shop. The market is saturating and this is actually expected.

"there’s not much left to innovate"

???

Totally disagree. Just one example: Tesla has only two global mass market models (3+Y). There is plenty of room to innovate on this topic alone. Model 2? Model whatever. Nothing new in years.
