Teslas real advantage is
Teslas real advantage is their CEO, and their ability to invent and develop at break neck speeds. No other company in the world can match them. SpaceX is a prime example. Elon can access space for 1/50th the cost of what the great USA could do it for. If the whole country of USA is no match for Elon, legacy auto manufacturers with dated philosophies don't stand a chance. For anyone to assume that Tesla is not developing solid state batteries is in a world of pain. Elon is in the business of disruption through engineering and implementation. Tesla is not just a car manufacturer.
