A Tesla Model S is fundamentally the same product with the same value add as a Ford Model T. Sure, the Tesla may be faster or more efficient or whatever now, but what it is at heart is the exact same thing as the Ford was 111 years ago.

For people who aren't interested in cars, this statement is quite true.
Not if you want a car for reliability, long distance high speed travel, and protection from the elements.
Not quite the same.
How so?
The point of the Model T was to be mass produced and to be affordable for the average working class American household. No Tesla model meets those criteria.
The Tesla Model S has dog mode.
