I think the real advantage Tesla has is not that it builds cars, but that it builds batteries. Lots of them. The battery is the most significant part of an EV, cost-wise. Having a massive production capacity in batteries means not only EVs, but also battery storage for utilities, power walls, possibly electric aviation, utility drones, etc.

Battery cooling and heating is their real tech advantage over the competitors in the car, plus superior software overall, superior ui integration, world wide supercharger network. And the best battery supply by far. That's all. And a ceo who like amazon's is content to add new tech and roll all potential profits into adding new tech to their vehicles.
