All of this changed after Tesla started to show its claws and to be taken seriously Absolutely Tesla is almost single handedly responsible for getting the EV market from where it was 10 years ago to where it is today. Without Tesla the EV market would almost certainly be years behind where it is right now. No argument from me on either point. The question is any of that relevant today? Tesla paved the way, but now the market is wide open and 'everybody' is jumping on. Does Tesla still have anything special to offer or will they just be another midsized 'luxury' car brand

In the long term it is about as relevant as IBM creating the modern "PC".

  didn't IBM just buy Red Hat, and is about to buy Hashicorp? I hate dealing with POWER8 systems, but the idea that IBM isn't relevant ain't true. arguably there is a Ship of Theseus argument that the company that built the PC is long, very long, dead.
