imho they already have the killer “feature” which is... the electric car. remember electric cars before tesla? me neither. so, focus on the electric part and make that as good as it can get. that’s a problem the world needs tesla to solve.
self-driving cars? nah. this is a 1st world problem.
- djanogo 6y agoI bet ALL Tesla's profit margin (non-carbon credit) comes from this "feature", this increase will bump up next quarter results. FSD buyers are discounting cars for non-FSD buyers. Non-FSD base model (by phone order) is probably a loss leader.

- nojokes 6y agoThere is Nissan Leaf (used as taxis in some countries) and it is from 2010. While Tesla inc existed before, I would consider that it really started with Tesla S from 2012.
- rantwasp 6y agoelectric cars existed but they were ugly/unappealing. now, the model S looks great and is a sports car in disguise (of you go for the P100D). electric cars went from meh and being pretty rare to mainstream.
- decafninja 6y agoTech aside, this is what I see as Tesla's killer innovation. Pretty much every non-Tesla mass production EV (or most dedicated hybrids not based on an existing ICE car) looked like a cheap ugly dwarf mutant hatchback economobile. Teslas actually look like premium, desirable, normal cars.
