That's interesting. Tesla could well become a formidable rival for some established market players. I still don't understand Tesla's valuation though. They're still an auto company and face many of the same challenges as the rest of them (cyclical demand, large capital costs to develop new models/factories) in addition to some self-imposed challenges such as having to own/run all their own service centers. Right now, they're valued more like a high growth pure software company.
