I think if Tesla pulls it off with the Tesla network and T5 they will have all the advatages Uber has with none of the disadvantages. Meaning they wont own "their" fleet of cars, it will just be all tesla owners renting out their cars. This effectivly cuts out all middle men from the equation. Also they will be early to market, the only competion i see is some other big car manufacturer developing or buying T5 and make their own network, Ford network or GM network or whatever, also cutting all the middle men. I.e the customers own the cars and they themselves rent out the car to some larger network. This also ultimately makes the T5 "revolution" inherently more democratic since one private actor will have a hard time to compete with a big network of people loosely connected by some framework. Which i think was Elons plan all along.

Right.

By the way, would you mind explaining me what do you mean by "T5"? Excuse my ignorance.

With T5 im just referring to level 5 Autonomous car, I just call it tier 5(T5). This means the car can drive it self where no human intervention is required.
Okay, thanks.
