Sherl··on A list of Amazon’s businesses and subsidiaries
I think Costco is built on baby boomers and it become a cult to spend time in warehouse, walking through huge aisles, discovering those treasures and samples. Amazon on other hand needs economies of scale by constantly sending you notifications or keeping track of your habits.

Costco also uses the same strategy to comeup with products. I used to see GT Kombucha and now costco has their own line of Kombucha as well. This is similar to Amazon where you observe the products at someones cost and make it inhouse if its viable. Another fact with Costco the costs being low is the businesses that sell at costco can only have as much as 20% of their total revenue from Costco -- which is like paying only for the variable cost as the rest 80% of revenue would absorb that fixed costs in supply chain. This is a huge bonus.

Sherl··on The Toyota Way
The fact is each line setup would involve several modifications in supply chain. Processes, Assembly, Paint Shop and not to say the engineering required beneath it. Reliability engineering often takes six months to an year to emulate a decade worth of conditions. You don't want to rush something to market and break it and apparently cars are hazardous if it fails in operation which mayn't be applicable to mobile phones.

Sherl··on Tesla Third Quarter 2018 Update [pdf]
But I do see that planning a road trip in Tesla is going to require a lot of additional stops. Last time when when I planned for a coast to coast ride, it was 14 hours additional to a regular ride because of the charging time. It's 3000 mile so 10 stops. Sure I can kill those charging times if they bring their 600 mile range roadsters.
