That’s like saying Apple didn’t transform the cell phone industry but only led the industry by 2-3 years before Android followed.

Or that Apple didn’t innovate because they merely used known technologies like phones, batteries, and touch screens.

Except apple made products for profit which others could have but didn't.

Tesla made cars at loss, which others really couldn't.

But at the core of it, Tesla has the hype of Elon musk, and no other car manufacturer can pull that off.
