It's not just about mass producing an EV though. It's also about the software and tech, and building not just a moving battery pack but one that comes together

It's not just about mass producing an EV though. It's also about the software and tech, and building not just a moving battery pack but one that comes together well with the software, self driving tech, and a supercharging network will be where Tesla will have an advantage for many more years to come.
- rainyMammoth 7y agoCan we please all stop pretending Tesla is a software company? This is the same fallacy as stating that WeWork is a tech company. Yes, there is a bit of software to their stack which they do well. But Tesla is a CAR company (bordering on the lifestyle category).
- zaroth 7y agoI don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say that Tesla is a software company the same way Apple is a software company. They don’t make their money selling software, but their software is a huge reason they are making money. There is a heck of a lot of software in that car and in all the infrastructure supporting that car. And unlike their competitors, Tesla doesn’t outsource it.
