Tesla and Elon Musk – The future of electric cars
Tesla initially seemed to be outpacing the rest of the auto industry in the race for electric vehicles to go mainstream. But things have gotten more difficult for Elon Musk’s crown jewel company. The race for future automotive market dominance has entered a critical phase.
Tesla has set a new standard in the automotive industry. Over the years, its CEO has been as famous as any rock star. But the boss and his company have increasingly come under fire from critics. Employees claim working conditions at manufacturing plants are chaotic and often questionable. Production on Tesla’s assembly line has often ground to a halt. Meanwhile, the losses mounted, while Musk’s reputation was battered and tarnished. Meanwhile, other major auto brands, most notably Porsche, are working full steam ahead to knock Tesla out of pole position. Not much is known about the German automaker’s new electric Taycan, but this documentary shows just how dangerous a new electric Porsche could be for Tesla. The big automakers have another trump card to play. They have decades of experience producing cars, while Tesla is still new to the field. The film also shows how much German technology is in Tesla models, and how Musk and the new Chinese competitor rely on German technology. The battle for dominance in the EV market is far from over.
