With respect to the previous poster those weren't the best examples

I'd chose battery tech, self-driving stack, operating system, design and manufacturing expertise i.e. full body vehicle stamping

I know my examples are not shiny. I am not a Tesla fanboy, but I have watched Sandy Monroe interview Musk, and my examples show how deep and wide the innovation goes that seem trivial from outside.

Self-driving stack is crap compared to Waymo. No lidar. That's a dangerous piece of crap.

The evidence would suggest you don't need Lidar, one example is this video comparing them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sibfRCgMiFE&ab_channel=Whole...

Bearing in mind that the Tesla is a Beta too, I'd say its far from certain which stack is crap

But I'll happily review more evidence in a year or two :)
