Tesla is (was) a tiny company with a huge amount of room to grow. I would argue that Amazon already owns a LOT of its market.
In fact, I'm pretty sure it's now many times larger on its own than the entire online shopping industry was when it started.
I am skeptical, though, that it should continue on this trend. Maybe find new markets (like AWS), but they need to watch out for the tendency of organizations to attempt to grow themselves far beyond what makes sense.
Similarly, GM or Toyota do not need to take on huge investments to grow big. They are already very big.
