As for learning from Tesla, I hope NO ONE else would learn Tesla's "Build Fast, Fix Later" philosophy in building cars.
iX just like i3 but unlike iX3 or i4 is supposed to be a dedicated EV platform based on iNext.

I was obviously referring to Teslas technical construction like the skateboard. I fullt agree that the rest if their design is not up to par (I had one for three years).
