Tesla will make its money through the innovation of batteries, I cannot see them being in automobiles for too much longer.

With Toyota here in OZ really pushing their hydrogen platform too, it'll be interesting to see how much longer EVs will go for.
There are a lot of manufacturers who are very close to releasing new electric vehicles. Jaguars is nearly on sale, MB, Audi, VW are getting close, Ford is talking 2020 etc. Once they are flooding the market it's going to steal so much of Tesla's market. They just can't build cars like the big manufacturers can. Just look at all the factory problems they are having. Cannot even make enough cars to break even cause there are so many massive bottlenecks in the factory. Their poor manufacturing experience and knowledge is killing them.
