Does it matter, right now, who beats who ? The market is so barely
tapped, that there's room for all players, and for a long time to come.
If Toyota can make a cheaper car than Tesla, it probably won't hurt
Tesla's market, it will just mean a new segment of buyers will come.

When you say "electric car" to someone, is it Toyota that the other guy
thinks of?
In the US, Tesla owns that space in auto buyers' minds, just as Saturn owned
the "small car" slot in 1990. I think that's less true worldwide, but
they're working on it.
In any case, if an established automaker does beat out Tesla for EVs in the
long run, chances are it won't be Toyota. They dropped that ball about 8
years ago and haven't found it again yet. EV time is running out for
Toyota, especially in Europe and Asia.

People don't sleep enough, and they all seem to be hunting
something that can't be caught. You think you're the dominant
species just because you go to the bathroom in a bowl instead
of a box. But who's cleaning up after whom?
