Despite the diversity, many of these competitors are still in trial phases or building their technology with limited information about their capabilities. Tesla’s advantage is its focus on iteration, heavily funded R&D, and early practical testing, much like SpaceX’s spacecraft development process, where successive versions reduce complexity while increasing performance.
