It definitely seems like Tesla is slowly seeping into the world of other car manufactures in an ongoing manner. And I don't think they/we have given much thought to what's yet to come. Batteries, auto-pilot, training/inference, manufacturing/robotics, and so on...
Do any of really think, especially given the track record, that most of the auto-industry is going to be able to do any of this alone? I imagine that eventually it will come down to a choice between partnering with a bunch of disparate tech/manufacturing companies or Tesla.
We all know there is disruption to come in general, but it's going to hit the incumbent auto-manufacturers like a brick if they don't wake up soon.
Auto makers are used to making their own platforms, and they won't change. Making a platform is not the hard part, and there are advantages to a custom platform for each vehicle.
