Bloomberg Intelligence thinks that Volkswagen could sell more electric vehicles than Tesla by 2024, but that even if this does happen, Tesla will still be a key leader in the industry.
. Although Tesla is focused on sustainability, its leadership challenged the entire auto industry over the past few years to step back, reinvent the car, and try to catch up. A few auto company CEOs have even said as much. VW seems to be the only automaker that isn’t just up to that challenge, but that is playing the role of a key ally to Tesla’s mission despite media headlines pitting the two companies against one another.
Instead of pretending to be a leader while producing very few EVs, or starting drama with Tesla owners on Twitter as some American automakers currently do, the best move is to focus on manufacturing EVs and advancing sustainability along with profits.I don’t have a crystal ball — well, actually, I have several, but I don’t use them for fortune-telling. However, let’s look at a few things while thinking about the Bloomberg Intelligence forecast.
Whether or not Bloomberg Intelligence is right, VW overtaking Tesla isn’t the issue here. Tesla is here to stay. As Elon Musk said in awith Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley, “Tesla’s fundamental value is to serve as an accelerant to sustainable energy.”
