... so that they can create performance-intensive features that nobody else in the market yet has, because the off-the-shelf hardware won't allow it. Due to power consumption, cost and performance issues. And this custom hardware is being developed to solve them.
You're basically saying the same thing in different words. I mean, what else do you do with better power consumption, cost and performance other than new, better-working features? You think Tesla will sell cars to the mass market with impressive computer specs?
Apple's own custom hardware has enabled it to experiment with performance-intensive features unlike other smartphone manufacturers, Tesla is going for the same strategy.

- HillaryBriss 8y agoWe made it easy to switch out the computer, and that’s all that needs to be done. You take out one computer, and plug in the next. Will existing Tesla owners be able to swap the computer? Or is the swap happening only inside the factory, to the next generation of the Teslas they're building? This may be one way in which Tesla's approach differs from Apple's.
