It is. Their cooling / heating system along with the battery is top notch. Others are catching up though.
And yes in terms of fit and build quality most actual car manufacturers are ahead.
Of course you also have Ford an ICE manufacturer that’s been building cars for centuries and still manages to produce shit with awful QA and constant recalls.
The battery is sourced from Ganfeng Lithium, CATL, Panasonic, and/or LG Chemical. The majority actually comes from CATL. The world’s leading EV battery manufacturer. Various automakers work with them. The cells arrive at the automakers manufacturing and all they do is pack it into a case. The statement they have leading battery tech is disingenuous. No matter which automaker you look at, they’re using the same cells from the same sources.
Lastly, Tesla isn’t ahead. China is. It’s why automakers are going to them. Credit where it’s due, Tesla did push for EV adoption outside of China. But that’s about it.

Hey OP here, thanks for pointing this out to me as I had no clue if the other person was right or not.
