One big factor you missed is Tesla has the best talent.

The talent at GM, Ford, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Toyota, Nissan, VW, etc. is immense. The only factor for those companies is focusing it, which all of them have proven they can do.

What Tesla has, is talent + a big headstart. The talent part is not unique at all. The clock is ticking rapidly on the headstart, and Tesla is well aware of that.
