Battery operated cars, battery operation ecosystem, over the air updates, over the update that enabled auto-pilot, radically redesigned internal controls, direct sales, no haggle pricing.
- beamatronic 9y agoLet’s be honest and pare this down to battery pack technology, over-the-air updates/always connected to the Internet and direct sales.
- fma 9y agoI wouldn't even give Tesla the credit of revolutionary for connected cars. On Star has been in GM vehicles for a very long time (1996 says Wikipedia), offering various levels of connectivity.
- Fins 9y agoNo-haggle pricing -- Saturn. Battery vehicles -- EV-1 (granted, there were many even before that). Enabling autopilot -- better not go there... If you look closely, there is very little that's actually innovative about Tesla (and what is is mostly Panasonic battery tech).
