If the world is to address the climate crisis, western companies like Tesla driven by a high-medium market mix / profit model, are unsuitable. On the other hand, driving the cost of de-carbonization to zero through massive scale-up is a net benefit.
On a more basic level as well, the so called overcapacity argument does not explain how Chinese per Capita transport energy use, or per capita floor space, is far lower than that of the US. It is the US which has too many vehicles, too large homes, and so on, and needs to stop building cars and homes.
