Interesting that we compare Tesla to Apple. We don't know who they (Tesla) are because the normal thinking is that they are a car company.
I would consider them in competition with Uber/Waymo/etc moreso than in competition with Ford. There auto summons is something I've not seen in any other car. The ability to detect street signs, cones, people, bikes, etc via visualizations is impressive considering they are using just cameras.
They are a technology compnany, and there platform is a car not your phone.

Don’t own a vehicle — have driven and “been driven” by one
It did a cell phone absolutely right.
- Visual Voicemail; Full internet browser; Music player; Fluid, Threaded SMS conversations; Contacts that looked like contacts ...
For every phone use case, the iPhone delivered a sense of “Finally!”
The Tesla experience had that aura to me when they pitched the battery swap technology — that’s when you said, “holy hell, they nailed it”
However that was dropped, and all other releases have felt lumpy and pumpy. The only thing I believe we all truly love is the acceleration... and really, that wasn’t a “product first” choice, just an attribute of the electric technology.
I really want Tesla to be successful — they just don’t know who they are.
