Specifically with the original iPhone: no 3G, no MMS, semi-frequent crashes. I owned an original iPhone in 2007, so clearly the problems weren't enough to deter me, but it wasn't a perfect device.
It was, however, in an entirely different conceptual category from its competitors.
The same could be said of Tesla, I guess, but I'm still very much a skeptic on Tesla. My point is just that being in a different conceptual category is a huge advantage. Perhaps Tesla will capitalize on that and come out on top (as Apple did), or perhaps it will be some other company (as Google did with Android), but I think it will happen.
