Exactly what "new industry" are they building? They're just selling people movers that get you from A to B. They're an EV Mercedes of the 21st century... The implementation is interesting, but the idea is old and tired.
- linsomniac 9y agoThey aren't building people movers. They are building the whole infrastructure: Solar, national chain of "gas stations", people movers, long haul thing movers, technology for self driving, industrial and home power infrastructure. They are competing with the car companies, the petrol industry, and they are starting to compete with convenience stores. On top of that, their platform is a rolling data gathering system. Images, temperature, time, speed, density of vehicles around it, battery charge level. Do you want to know if it makes sense to build a hotel in a new area? Tesla has data that can be useful in making that decision. Tesla is way more than just a new incarnation of the struggling auto industry.
