It's not a horrible comparison, but the barriers to entry between an electric car (+entire charging network) are much higher than a DVR. First mover advantage digs a bigger moat.

The stakes are higher and the margins are smaller. First mover advantage either digs a deeper moat or a trap for yourself. (Vercingetorix vs. Julius Caesar at Alesia.)

Meh. The advantage you will want in the vehicle space is who is the "most mover." Production pipelines will be a huge asset for big players.
