Former Stellantis chief executive Carlos Tavares recently issued a bold forecast regarding Tesla’s long-term position in the global automobile market. According to Tavares, the electric car leader might face significant challenges that could threaten its presence by the year 2035. He believes the once-untouchable reputation of Tesla is now encountering fiercer competition from Chinese automakers that are reshaping the EV landscape with affordability and efficiency.
Tavares highlighted that producers such as BYD and other emerging Chinese brands are setting new benchmarks for cost-effective electric vehicle manufacturing. He argued that Tesla’s extraordinary stock valuation cannot be sustained if the company fails to reestablish its dominance through innovation and production competitiveness.
Shifting Focus Away from Cars
The ex-Stellantis leader also expressed concerns about Elon Musk’s expanding interests beyond the automotive world. He emphasized that Musk’s increasing dedication to space exploration, robotics, and artificial intelligence could dilute Tesla’s strategic focus, potentially weakening the company’s stance in an industry that demands constant reinvention and attention.
A Darwinian Decade Ahead
Tavares described the coming years as a Darwinian era for automakers, one where only the most adaptive and financially resilient brands will survive. He suggested that global players like Toyota, Hyundai, and Chinese manufacturers are well positioned to thrive during this transformation, while Tesla may risk losing its leadership role unless it recalibrates its long-term vision and operational efficiency.
