My guess, which I have no evidence for, is that Tesla likes to move fast (autonomous vehicle by end of '17) and at Apple he had a lot more time to focus on projects like Swift for longer periods of time.

Questionable. I would describe Swift as 'move fast' too, judging by the fact there is breaking changes [1] every release. [1] http://blog.xebia.com/breaking-changes-swift-4/ http://blog.xebia.com/breaking-changes-swift-4/

    Less than 4 years to become the dominant language for iOS development, thats pretty fast.

      When you have a company like Apple backing it - anything can become dominant (at least till now).
