@weirdshibainu and I disagree with that premise.
You are allowed to your opinion, but you are now just denying facts.
As far as not having to come out with newer improved cars, is a foolish strategy.
Lets set things straight, considering you're opinion seems to be based on subjective feelings, not obectively. The model Y is not 1,5 years out, the model 3 4 years. That isn't a long time. And ofcourse Tesla can't come out with several different cars every 4-5 years, they don't have the capacity yet. VW sells around 10 million cars a year, Tesla's best year was building 500k. And it isn't like Tesla isn't coming out with new cars in the future, the cybertruck is slated to come out in 2022 once the Texas production facility is finished building and installing. The Tesla semi will also be produced there, so I'd expect it to come out in deliveries around 2022-23. And they already announced they aim at 2023 to bring out a sub $25k dollar car, though this is likely going to be 2024 imo (it honestly wouldn't make sense to come out earlier with it, such a low price car needs numbers, something Tesla can't even produce now even if they wanted to). Honestly this isn't a bad situation for a 12 year old car manufacturer (counting from the moment they really start selling cars). They'll have brought out around 4-5 new vehicles in around 7 years and 8 in 8 years, 9 in +-12 years if this schedule works out.
VW is bigger, so they can bring out more models. Furthermore VW had to do a catching up manoeuvre anyway in regards to EV's.
Charging networks might be easy to roll out, though it takes quite some investment and ofcourse Tesla has the advantage currently to be a private network vs other networks being public. I am not saying the charging network will remain a trump card for the next decade, but the next few years, yes.

I'm not denying facts. You are.
First off, I was refering to you not accepting the fact that Tesla is in fact more than just their car department in regards to denying facts. Tesla has already built grid storage battery plants and is selling battery banks for at home and they also are selling solar panels. This is just a fact, not my personal opinion.
Every project you've mentioned lives in Musks mind.
Except it is in development and scheduled by Tesla. No matter what, Musk can't just come up with a ridiculous idea and let Tesla come out with it. Either he'd have to start another company or they'd first work on it in secret to make sure it is actually viable. Tesla isn't Musk personal private company like SpaceX is.
The semi? Not feasible due to lack of range.
LMAO. Tesla is already using semi's on the road to test and improve them. Lack of range? It would either have 500 or 800 km of range depending on the version according to specifications. You know how many km a truck driver could possibly ride in a day in the EU driving constantly at the max speed for semi's on the highway during the hours they are allowed? Around 800km. And they are forced to have some mandatory breaks during that time, so if there is the proper charging infrastructure rolled out, they can charge for 15-20 minutes twice during these breaks, possibly getting half a 'tank' extra.
And there are already several other companies also bringing out electric trucks (so it isn't just a crazy musk idea). I am sorry to burst your bubble, but electric trucks are fine for much of HGV needs, while also at the same time being much cheaper to operate, especially as gas prices go up. Hell, there are even companies that had looked into hydrogen trucks, but went with electric trucks anyway.
The cyber truck is a joke
The cybertruck has at this moment over a 1,25 million reservations listed, even if you take half that number, that is more than Tesla so far has produced in their best year and probably around half of what they have produced in total so far. You might find it a joke, clearly many people don't.
Continue being a musk fan boy.
Oh ofcourse, the "I don't have any real arguments based on facts, so I'll just call the other guy who actually does base his arguments on facts a musk fan boy, eventhough I don't know him".
Just to set things straigth, I don't know if I would ever get a Tesla, personally I like cars like VW's id3-4 more in terms of price, but also convenience (except the buttons they did away with) and look. And I have shit quite often on Tesla, Musk, etc. too depending on the topic/discussion. I just don't care for people misrepresenting stuff and acting like they know what they are talking about when they clearly are just talking out of their arse.
