As EVs go mainstream, a charging network will need to be provided on a vastly larger scale than anything Tesla has ever done so far, and it will need to be standardised so all vehicles can use it. Whether or not Tesla's existing charging network provides a useful advantage by then remains to be seen.
The important parts of the software don't seem to be anything special with Tesla so far either. Many other brands have had driver assistance for years too, they just don't slap fancy titles on it and pretend the car will soon be fully autonomous.
If anything, it seems like the biggest real lead Tesla might have right now is in battery development, but again as EVs go mainstream we're going to need to solve that problem on a much larger scale so it remains to be seen whether Tesla's progress to date will provide a decisive advantage.
