A) Because they're run by a genius
B) Because they have a shitload of amazing manufacturing engineers
C) Because they have a bunch of money, and use a bunch of batteries, and their 3 main criteria are reliability, cost, performance, in that order.
D) All of the above

Damn I spoiled it oh well...

I think the Germans have finally woken up to the advantage Tesla has. VW has gone full throttle to attempt to dominate. But by their own admission: "Tesla is years ahead of us". Gonna be an interesting next five years.

Sandy seems to be Tesla’s #1 fanboy these days .
Are ALL his videos about Tesla now ?
There is not actually a great deal of substance to that one either, other than generic praise of how Tesla are “so far ahead of anyone else “ and how wonderous their electronics are, and battery management is ..
..( i wonder how tesla can manage to keep 46 PARALEL cells so close on voltage ? ) ..hmm ? genius comment there !
Monroe had a good independent reputation, but he appears to be rapidly diluting that with sucking up to Tesla

IMO the video did an excellent job explaining how Tesla has stayed way ahead.
There does seem to be a very vocal group of tesla haters which i don't understand - unless they shorted the stock, lost $, and have an axe to grind.(are sore losers)

One under-reported way that Tesla has won the battery tech war is by not prioritizing battery safety over battery performance. Leafs virtually never have battery fires, while Tesla seems to consider them a cost of doing business, IMO. A similar philosophy seems to apply to driving automation: Tesla over-promises what their 'autopilot' can do, and people believe them and later regret it.

Tesla battery supplier Catl says new design has one million-mile lifespan

A Chinese car battery-maker says it is ready to manufacture a product capable of powering a vehicle for 1.2 million miles (two million kilometres) across the course of a 16-year lifespan.

By contrast, most automakers only offer warranties ranging from 60,000 to 150,000 miles over a three to eight-year period on their cars' batteries.

There is a big difference between a “claim” to be able to produce a battery that will last 1.2m miles..
....and what a manufacturer is willing to provide a “Warranty” for some distance and time period.
It is just marketing talk.
But whilst these claims sound encouraging, how many cars will ever last 1.2m miles ?
That would be 48 years at the avarage of 25,000 miles/yr !
And who wants a 10 year old pack (or car) anyway ?..improvements happen continuously
...we keep hearing that within 5 years, EV batteries will be half the weight, twice as powerful, 5 min charge, and 50% of the cost !
