Tesla made the electric car aspirational, then ubiquitous: the Model Y became the world's best-selling car outright, the Supercharger network remains the ownership trump card rivals now pay to join, and over-the-air software set expectations every legacy brand chases. The refreshed Model Y and 3 lead on efficiency; Cybertruck polarises; the promised Roadster hovers perpetually. Build consistency, service wait times and the brand's political entanglements are real considerations — as is depreciation in a price-cutting era. The reference point for everything electric, still.
