Remember how Telsa started by building skateboards before moving to scooters, bikes, then cars? No? Oh that's right, they started with cars, but outsourced the design and production of components that were not their core competency, then slowly replaced those outsourced designs until they had something entirely their own.
What product is complete when launched? I can't recall anything. Most of the products I know and love got to that point through a series of small, incremental, improvements over time. And this is exactly the foundation the MVP paradigm seeks to lay out: get something out the door that's useful, and get feedback from customers to make those incremental improvements.

- mywittyname 7y agoI'm referring to the original Roadster being built on a heavily modified Lotus chassis while the Model S was ground up design. The fact that older Roasters can get upgrades from the Model S suggests a good deal of component sharing for the drive trains. I'm not sure if anyone has written anything extensive on it.
