I agree with the post above that says Tesla is a tech company, not an auto manufacturer. Tesla's value is not in its production capabilities but instead lies in it battery management software and the data it has accumulated with over 200,000 cars on the road. Think about having 100 laptop batteries running one computer (or one electric motor in this case). Knowing how long to drain/charge each battery cell to get the most power, range, and longevity is the secret sauce. Tesla's data is very valuable. The only car company that comes close to knowing as much about battery management is BMW, and that came form the Active E pilot program.
