There's no analog to Android in this situation. That gives Tesla an advantage that Apple didn't have.

It's possible to imagine a future in which few other car manufacturers survive. Not saying that will happen, but remarkable it's possible.
-
I don’t know any manufacturer who thinks they don’t have to switch to all electric drive. Only question is how quickly.
-
A teslamorphic car isn't just electric though. There's also the software. That will be even harder for them.

The alternative analogy would be RIM

Add in Model 3, there will be mass # autonomous cars on the road within few short months. If you have the means, why ever get anything else?
-
None of those cars are more than L3 autonomous, though. Opinions vary as to whether they even have the necessary sensors for L4/5
-
Totally fair, but there is something to be said about L3 for the masses being *much* better than the status quo a la 'a real web browser'

iPhone wasn't great until 3GS IMO, but even 1st gen was SO much better than everything else available is the general sentiment looking back

Except for the fact that an iPhone is an aspirational purchase for almost 3 billion people, globally. A $120,000 car, not so much.

Level of US-centrism and delusion is amazing. Median car buyer lives in China and Tesla prices might as well be for flying cars. Irrelevant!

Question is how fast Tesla can manufacture a car that is within an average person's budget.

ironic, many of @TeslaMotors incar features like a touchscreen head unit save money in the long term because software updates aren't recalls
