    Here is an insider's report about the angst the model 3 is causing Porsche and Audi. The two big stumbling blocks for the Germans in producing a Tesla killer is no in house battery production and no proprietary supercharging system. It is going to take them years to catch up. The Germans will be bleeding money if they try to price their BEVs anywhere close to a Tesla. Elon is extremely eccentric but he nailed it with the model 3.
