The Taycan is unfortunately way overpriced. The Audi e-tron too. With such price levels people buy Tesla in the premium segment. I see Teslas all the time here. It has become such a common car. A massive market that Porsche and Audi could have ruled if they had not priced themselves out of it.

They see only profit margins and this is/was their mistake.

Take it from a drug dealer's  Smiley perspective: When you launch a new drug, you make it cheap. You want people to get hooked. Then, once they are hooked, you can raise your prices. Well... Smiley 

I had expected more from the German car makers and I don’t get their strategy. By now they should be a threat to Tesla in Europe, but I get the opposite feeling.

Tesla is also three steps ahead in the purchase process. As easy as ordering your groceries online. Only very few options. Done.

I never liked Tesla as a car, but admired the brand and technology behind it (which is what the company is about, the cars are 2nd to that). The new Plaid I am warming to. Hard to find an alternative. If any?
