Yes, Tesla was a bit ahead of everyone else to market, but how are they going to compete when they're not the only one in the "luxury electric car" space?

Sure, Panasonic manufactures the 2170 cells, but they aren’t in the same game as Tesla.
where ever somebody wants them.

While true Tesla is a value-add on those cells, but like 99% a value add for themselves. The quick question is if one of them died would the other survive...
I think if not for tesla, other car companies would not be scrambling to make better Evs.
Tesla was founded in 2003 to design hybrids. By 2008 the company had been taken-over by Mr Musk and changed focus to all-electic drivetrains and released the Roadster.
Nissan launched the Leaf in 2010 as the first mass-produced all-electric car.
EVs were coming regardless of Tesla. I'm sure they have helped promote the option and accelerated adoption within their target demographic but to 90%+ of the market they're irrelevant.
