RJ Scaringe: Companies Are Copying Tesla Too Much

. In this article, I’m going to briefly cover what Scaringe said and opine on whether it’s really true.

But, people coming from the combustion market don’t appreciate that, as they’re used to being able to buy all sorts of vehicles that vary greatly from each other. Instead of getting what they want, they either settle for a Tesla Model Y or simply sit the EV transition out waiting for something that better fits their tastes. He says that this is why the R2 has gained so much attention, as it caters more to the general SUV market and doesn’t try to ape the Model Y.

While exteriors have varied a lot from Tesla , nearly all EVs follow the Tesla powertrain formula almost perfectly. Transverse drive units , single-speed gear reducers , and lots of soundproofing to keep the natural sound of an electric motor away—these things are common all over the EV industry. Because we tend to wrap up the vehicles we drive in things like our identity and even attempts to seek a mate, people do all sorts of ridiculous things with their vehicles. Trucks with extreme lifts that would be a liability off-road, cars that get terrible fuel mileage, dorky crossovers that look like a pickup but lack the capabilities, and increasingly tiny tire sidewalls that leave the vehicle vulnerable to potholes all come to mind.
