Tesla's biggest threat is itself. Overstretching or a major technical error could kill the company.
The next biggest threat is sabotage, legal attack, etc. from the old car manufacturers. Good old fashioned capitalism.
If the competition remains free and open, ain't no way in hell a big Goliath that produces controlled explosion vehicles is going to compete with a company that knows software. The future of cars is software with hardware attached.
- bamboozled 9y ago_The future of cars is software with hardware attached._ IMO this is wrong, yeah there will be software, but combustion cars have computers too. I wouldn't buy a car that is connected 24/7 with closed source software monitoring me and my environment and sending data back to god knows where constantly as Tesla does. I often feel like Tesla would be better off just selling cars that run on electric motors before worrying about the "hi-tech" parts so much, which to be honest make the cars seem gimmicky and will date very quickly. This is probably the start of affordable "dumb" electric cars, which excites me more as person who cares for privacy and doesn't care for commuting long distances in a self-driving auto-carriage.
