Once BMW, Mercedes, Porsche REALLY mature their offerings and create real choices, why would people continue to buy the most plain (inside out) car? Because it's a TSLA? Hopefully Musk continues to diversify the portfolio with solar panels, phones or whatever he cooks up next (assuming he stays CEO).

Then again, AAPL has somehow maintained its dominance without really evolving that much. Then again, cars are different from phones, the latter we are attached to 24/7 so its hard to change once it becomes an extension of you. A car is not quite the same.

Good stuff. Agree
