Another dumb post by someone who believes Tesla operates in a vacuum... Tesla is a very small player in terms of cars produced. Volkswagen has started outselling Tesla in some European countries. And dont forget about GM and Toyota. No lead is unaissalable in a highly competitive market like car manufacturing. And its not like there's no competition from the tech side either. Microsoft, Apple and Google are all working on making self driving cars. Any combination of said tech companies with a large car manufacturer would be a serious threat.

What portion of Volkswagens sold are outfitted with an array of HD cameras passively collecting data?
Volkswagen sells about 10 million cars per year. If the only advantage they have is more miles recorded, please tell me how Teslas lead cant be beat by a company which outsells it 20 to 1.
