There's nothing wrong with other companies getting involved, the comment merely highlights that it took a small company with lot of media attention to set the direction for a larger industry. It's no problem for Tesla, it was their plan all along to encourage competition.

- kumarvvr 9y agoMedia attention is usually required only when a consumer product is at stake. Take, for example, current upstarts competing with Cisco in networking gear. Not much media exposure but a quite revolution. In the history of business, its almost always the upstart that upends business. Examples include Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoWho are the network hardware upstarts you're thinking of? What are they bringing to the market which is changing it?
- kumarvvr 9y agoNot able to remember names right now but I remember seeing a lawsuit by Cisco against one of thwir ex-directors or so, just a few weks back. Basically Cisco is facing competition from startups implementing hardware in COTS components and innovating in features through software.
