Tesla makes a good product, but overall EVs aren't where they need to be for mass adoption. The tech has been over-hyped with its best potential numbers being taken as a concrete average. The industry has downplayed the drag on performance from things like cold weather and carrying heavy loads, the tech has nearly become synonymous with waiting for a spot to charge and there's always the looming specter of the cost of having to place batteries.

All of this means that the "new" is wearing off and the tech is moving into a niche category. Until/Unless they can get drive distances up (especially in cold weather) and charge times down, ICE vehicles will remain dominant.

Using some broad language here that I think needs some more specifics. What is “mass adoption” and “dominant” market share in your view?

What are the market sizes that require capabilities to pull “heavy loads”?

Source on “synonymous with waiting for a spot to charge”?

Your post reads more like the EV solutions today don’t meet your needs; therefore, the product is a failure.
