Head start is no guarantee of success.

History is full of examples of this to be the case. Has Apple ever had a head start on any industry ?

No, and that is also why the iPhone is so expensive.

Almost everything in the iPhone has Apple paying some licensing fees to Qualcomm.

My point is that they have a lot of patents around this tech in actual real EVs. Other competitors would have to license it from Tesla.

Has Tesla reneged on the "open patents"?

    Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology.

Define: Good Faith
