Maybe not, but why does that matter ?

Tesla had barely any competition so far, now when there's more, things are about to get interesting. They will now have to make great cars, performance and quality wise (and be competitive price wise) not just be "only choice" out there.
If only that were true. It's all about image and reputation. The Prius continues to outsell all competitors largely on reputation (it looks like a practical joke), not the way it drives.

Tesla will continue to give off the tree hugger, pious image. BMW will retain their image too.
