Other automakers are focused on making money.

There will be a lot more to choose from in a year or two.
In Tesla's 4Q earnings call Musk said Model 3 sales in the USA will decline in 2019 as Tesla diverts US built cars to China and the EU. He also said that Model Y production won't start until the end of 2020. (This makes it the 3rd time he has pushed out his start of production date. It was 2018, then 2019, now 2020.)
