Conventional carmakers would obtain the technology and Tesla is gone.

The last barrier is sufficient distribution of fast charging.

Tesla 3 is a very nice car under $40,000.
Power cost is ~100 MPGe.
Every morning the car is topped off (home charging).
Range is >300 miles.
On the rare (!) case you need a recharge, a _full_ recharge is 20 minutes.
The last point is key: y’all underestimate how rarely one needs to charge out-and-about. >95% of charging would be topping off at home overnight.

Sales are increasing. Manufacturing infrastructure costs are sunk.
The tipping point is reached. Profit commences.
