Like Samsung, which has a fab all the way up to consumer facing phone business? Excessive vertical integration is over-valued, unless you holds a monopoly position in at least one of the component of the vertical.

You mean like how all the cell phone makers caught up with Apple's iPhone? Not saying TSLA has no risk: for one thing, they still have not figured out how to scale up production. But in general, I think we tend to overestimate the incu

It is already the case. In the keynote, they demoed Fast User Switch with a touch of finger. If multiple people share a single computer, switching to the right user account is a touch away.
