Mercedes would be my pick if I had to guess.
Hopefully Tesla can live on its own terms, they have done what iPhone did to the mobile industry back in 2007, now look at it.
Nothing will be the same - the Porsche Taycan, Germans "finest" is not even up To Tesla standard or tech, and they had plenty of time/resources to do something about it.
Der spigel used about the same words Elop said to Nokia back in 2010 (burning platform) addressing the German can industry, they've dropped the ball.
Seeing how the Germans are using usual ICE platform converted to EV is just embarrassing, they need to have higher ambitions than cost saving at this stage, or they will continue to loose even more.
