>Tesla is selling cards today, Waymo is not.

Tesla sells cars for which FSD doesn't exist, Waymo is using FSD on cars they don't build.

The business models are different. Why is the natural assumption that everyone will own their FSD car?

Great point.

Tesla exists for people who want to own/drive their cars with cool tech and the dream of FSD down the line via a magical update

Waymo's launched Waymo One as a taxi service but it's only available in one region. My understanding has been that they want to buy a fleet of cars, outfit them with their FSD tech for a taxi service? (So competing with Ridesharing services as an autonomous alternative)

There is certainly plenty of room in the market for people both models
