There is still a large benefit to this. Because Tesla is seen as a leader in the EV space it prods others to follow them. In some cases like this it gives people in the supply chain or internally at other automakers justification to make changes they've been prevented from making in the past. All sorts of people have all sorts of random ideas that never go anywhere until an industry "golden child" says it's the way forward. Without that effect the change can take much longer to happen.
